Hi Bill:

Have you tried just taking a sample of what you need to a well-stocked auto 
parts store?  I needed to replace the injector o-rings on my wife's Volvo 
850 Turbo, and the thieves at the dealer wanted something like $14 per (X 5 
cyls.).  I took one to the local AutoZone and bought a box of 8 for about 
$7.  That stuff is pretty generic, and lots of cars used L-Jet, or a 
licensed knock-off version.  I've still got the same job ahead of me on my 
'87 Spider, so if you do find something, I'd be grateful if you'd share the 
info.

Regards,

dean
