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.
