Fixing an injector seal leak, thought I’d replace the elbows. Always great stuff from 914 Rubber, so am wondering if they need to be shortened? They are quite a bit longer than the old ones, and have a sharper angle. The problem is they interfere with the MPS placement. If I try to make it work the elbows are pinched at the curve. Seems easy enough to cut off an inch or two, but that doesn’t seem right.
Thoughts? |

Use your old cloth elbow as a pattern.

Agreed. Just seems odd they’re not cut to size. Wondering if I had missed something. Thx

I had another thought about this. I am guessing you need the extra length to put the radius in the hose during manufacturing process.

You are correct.
Kind of like a universal hose you can cut to size. |

So, it was a leaking injector body, not the elbow. So I’ve a replacement injector, but need to exchange the cracked elbow. How should I remove the crimped fit while being gentle on the injector?

I used side cutters (dykes), others use dremel tool.
