When Zipties aren't enough!

[lsbit]

I saw this on Ebay and thought I would share it. I have had a couple of emails over the last month asking me about broken fuel injector tabs. The ziptie works fine, but in case someone wants to go the extra step:

Too much work...if you ask me though.

I've got some of those sitting in my tool box!! I bought them to replace the connectors when I replaced the injectors.

All I can tell you is there is a reason they are sitting in my tool box and not on the car. You have to do one of two procedures. You either cut the old pigtail off and solder this one on, (not advisable unless it's a last resort) or you have to remove the pins from the old connector and install them in the new connector. I did exactly one. Believe me, that connector is one pain in the butt to work with...and I have the proper pin and connector tools. It will take you hours to replace them all. The zip ties work just fine...and I don't think you even need them.
