plastic cover for fuel rail = doodoo

[dickie]

mine was cracked before, but when i tried to take it off to access under my valve cover, i cracked it even worse. now that i am getting parts together for the shop rebuilding my engine, what can i do about a replacement fuel rail, pref not some plastic-a*s*s pos?

btw i searched fuel rail and i promise i read EVERY topic.

i dont need more flow... yet.

yes, mine is also quite cracked

but that plastic guy only houses wires right? so you could just throw some wire loom on it.

what kind of parts could i use to replace it? should i just try and fab something out of plastic and make some mounting brackets? is there anyway to get those goddamn screw/bolts that hold it to the valve cover out? mine are stripped to ****... which is the source of the cracks in the first place.

im thinking just going to an aftermarket item but whats out there for the kade?

I also cracked the plastic cover on my fuel rail, and I used a lighter to melt it back together, lol.

My valve cover bolts were stripped also, so I just put a little bit bigger bolts in. It's stayed sealed up, so I'm guessing that was a good fix.

it really shouldn't be too much of a problem to make something out of aluminum or something, come on now, its just a little box

if you really wanted it bad i would just hit up some junkyard action

lol yeh ill give you .50 c plus shipping for it

instead ill try to make some kind of cover thats not gay. and then ill anodize it the same red as the rest of my car... and powdercoat my valve cover. jk.

instead i will get my car running. the screwbolts im talking about are the bolts that holf the plastic case to the vavle cover with the phillips head. mine came stripped and i didnt make them any better when i removed the cover.
