   Just fitting my uprated injectors into a plenum but it seems as though there should be a outer ring for each injector to fit into to keep them in place as there is a big gap making them move around.
   
   Anyone know if there should be something between the injectors and the holes for them, they fit ok in the lower part of the hole.

   was there any rubber 'O' rings that came with the injectors?
   there should be 1 for each injector, and a clip at the end of each too.

   No didnt get any O rings, guessing there rubber? There is like rubber rings on the actual injector but that part fits lower inot where the gap is.
   
   I can get these off the injectors, plenum that is currently on the car when i fit new engine.

   You are after a set of pintel caps I think, its like plastic cover with a hole that covers the injector. You get them as part of an injector refurb kit, depending on your injector brand and model.

    My vtr or vts injector's don't have those caps on.. and they work/ed perfectly..
    
    The vtr was on the same ones from new..
    
    Just a rubber O ring on each end.. and a little orange plastic disk on the end what goes into the head.
