willos Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just strolling around my local car boot I came across 2 brand new B Leyland sealed in original boxes fuel injectors. I had to unseal one box to check before I bought these. Part number is 1x 157913 s350 G8 . Wrapped in grease paper and red cover on top. The chap had them in him 2.5 PI glovebox and never used them. I want to offer them on the register first as I don't want them to go to trade I'm open to offers before they are on the bay. No I didn't pay him £1 for them so don't be cheeky 26 years I had to sell my car WDN 772J I know she's still out there and have heard and seen her once Any clue where she is ?

willos Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Bit of a sweeping statement when you've not seen them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Do they have the inner filters? They really are hens teeth. Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Salisbury Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 The "O" rings will be attacked by the stuff we have to use these days as a substitute for real '60's/70's petrol, that's why they'll need a rebuild, not a problem if they have circlips at the end, they also may need recalibrating after all this time sat doing nothing.

willos Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 They have the inner filters If the red covers that are on the top were cracked and dried then I would expect the worse. These are flexible as the day they were made so I expect the injector to be the same I'm looking for £120 for the pair Will be on eBay in the next few days if no takers on these Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard71 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi Willis, Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think £120 the pair is over ambitious. I found a set of 6 NOS on eBay last year, sealed and in original packaging, I think I paid £60-70 for the lot. It goes without saying that they'll require overhauling, remove one from its packaging and give it a shake, it's likely you'll hear the rattle of a loose spring, or maybe not, either way after all this time they'll need re-worked. Whoever buys them from you will know this. Good luck with the sale! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cp25616 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Sorry but I can't agree with the "oh these will need rebuilt" chaps. These are just the ones that will work and keep on working unlike some "rebuilt" ones today. I have fitted many NOs ones in my 6 TR's over a period of 36 years and never had any problems whatsoever. When I rebuilt X755 over a period of 5 years I fitted 6 NOS injectors and they were superb with the added bonus of not even needing bled, that's by the by though. Fit NOS and forget is what I am saying. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 They won't necessarily need rebuilding unless the seals have perished. The early days of unleaded fuel were not kind to the original seals so these days viton seals are used, however modern unleaded contains a lot less benzene than the early days so original seals may well be ok for quite a long time. Changing the seal is simple enough on most injectors as the rest of the injector is unlikely to need rebuilding and the pressure setting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve T Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Any ideas on what size the seals are? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
