injector pipes - KV

mikes2 · 10-06-19, 07:29 PM

Looking for injector lines from metering head to injectors for KV engine. This is the later type with unions and not banjo fittings at the metering head end

One of mine is leaking and the others may soon follow.

PM if you can assist please

Mike,
I am sure if you can't find originals, they can be made up by someone doing pipes for diesel engines. One of my friends with a Routemaster bus suffered a broken one on a trip out; all they did was clamp it off to limp home on a light throttle and get a new one made up. Cost was minimal compared to finding a second-hand original which may have work-hardened anyway.
I am sure there will be diesel specialists in your neck of the woods.
