CIP1 (gee, they're coming up a lot today) has the small and large rubber bits for the injectors themselves, as well as FI fuel filters and gas tank sock if necessary. You'll want new bakelite centering blocks as well (one of mine was broken). Tom Miller has a stockpile of them (millersgarden@earthlink.net) -- he might have some on ebay at the moment. His username is millerstamp. I've bought a lot of stuff from him and he's a good guy. While you have your injectors out you might want to leave them soaking in kerosene (I had problems with my plastic-to-metal seams leaking and a few people online suggested they might have dried out)... I've been buying US-made 8mm fuel line (suggested by Jim Adney) to replace fuel lines and excellent FI-specific clamps (solid bodies, no worm lines) can be had at http://www.cgenterprises.com/fuel_injection.htm I don't know what the size of the air intake plenum to tubes hose is. I just used my old ones. Hope this helps!
