I just missed getting a full set of FI harness boots on evilbay for $41.00!!!

They looked to be AA pieces... which are about $120.00 for four...

Anyone have a nice set they would sell?

And, has anyone bought the AA stuff, and can comment on the quality of those Boots?

isn't there a swedish car site that sells the boots, etc? for saabs and volvos... also, since eventually it will come up, bus boys sells the tool to release the pin that holds the spade connector in the plastic connector so that you can put the new rubber boot on... (whew!)

Yep! Yes, a whole kit for $49 plus $8 shipping...VERY NICE! Be glad you missed the auction, this is a much better deal! Kevin (rhodguy) was nice enough to share this site with me.

Here is a direct link to the correct page on the Swedish site with the boots:

Where does one get glycerin?


Curious minds want to know.

I can't seem to find it at my FLAPS.

Thanks

Pure form glycerin is normally available in small bottles at the local Drug Store... unless Big Brother has decided it is a dangerous substance, and has pulled it from the shelves to save us from ourselves!!!

Just what I want to know-How to get the new boot over the connector?
Have been in the engine bay recently to replace an injector and the pass side boots are ripped up. Of course! They are the most difficult to get to!

Just went to the site and parts are $51.95 plus shpg.
So , is this a good price for the injector boots? Like $12 for a piece of rubber?

you have to remove the connector to get the boot on the injector wires. then re-install the connector. i marked the corrosponding wire to the correct terminal on each injector BEFORE removal.

The pin tool will help you remove the plastic connector to get the boot on, then reinstall the connector and then slide the boot back up the wire???
