Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to get these measurements.

Now I have something to work with; first, I am going to see what McMaster-CARR has.

No worries. And I didn't have to pull any injectors either...these were the original ones from my 89 motor. So they were already out.

I have one of those copper washer kits....I'll go check to see if any of them would work on the 9mm injector.

I am reading along, as a guy that has a few 9 mm injector style motors in the line up.
Thanks Trashing!

Another idea has been lurking in the dark recesses of my wee skull; I figure the return washers have that connecting strip of copper to facilitate installing them without losing one or both in the process, and it also provides a handy handle to hold them in place while lining things up.

Another oft removed hollow bolt that would also benefit from such an arrangement is the AFC boost-tube banjo fitting.

I wish all banjo bolt washers were like that. It would make things a lot easier!

I open up my pack of replacement copper washers for the 7mm tip motors...ain't no way in that they would work for the 9mm injectors.
