Or, I can spend $48/ea for them through a local source that claims they can get genuine German made ones.

If I had been able to do a group buy on them, I could've had them at $38/ea., but not enough were willing to buy them.

Anyway, the jist is, I can rebuild and balance with new German nozzles, but they'll add $50 to the price EACH!

TomJ, PM me with a total for 5 rebuilt and balanced with NEW German nozzles. I may be getting picky but you know how it is. These are supposed to be a Christmas present for myself. At that time I will decide which option I will go with, but I do know I WILL be getting a set from ya. Thanks for your help.

Since I only have a limited supply of these injectors at this point, I've decided to just keep the sales within the group, so I password protected the Christmas specials page.

Just sent off my money order, hopefully soon I myself shall report. I'm excited.

the link for WVO injectors does not work.

Looks to be a good operation though...

Just got back from meeting with Tom. Great guy, went out of his way to hook me up with a set of injectors. I'll post the results when I make the change..

SOLD OUT!!

Unfortunately, I have no more good working nozzles (though I have a box of crappy nozzles, some almost new -India, go figure-, but out of German ones.)

Tried to get the deal on a bulk order of what German ones are left and after the Bosch shop called around, they only found THREE LEFT and they're in three different states.

Bosch USA says they moved ALL the nozzle ops to India. So I guess this is it for this biz. I might take an India nozzle down to a friends co. and check it out compared to the last new German nozzle I have and see what they look like under an optical comparitor and a scope to see why they're such crap, but Bosch really shot themselves in the foot (and me in the head) with that stupid move.

TomJ-
So am I to understand that I'm out of luck? I sent you an email requesting injectors on November the 18th. Did you forget about me? I already sent payment!

Everyone who sent payment will get injectors, I just don't have any more parts for more sets to sell. Everyone's injectors (who've paid for them) should go out today or first thing in the AM.

I'm the retard who doesn't do PayPal. Am I still covered or do I need to cancel the Postal Money Order I overnighted? Let me know.

Everyone says
 
That TomJ is a straight up guy. I would think your injectors will be on the way.

d.delano 12-09-2004 02:30 PM

I do not blame him. Victim of circumstance and my own desire to have the best without getting a PayPal account.

I found an injection shop down near where my Dad lives that does the work. Had a nice half hour chat with the guy who seems really nice and thorough. Knows what points of importance to recognize regarding the rebuilding of these things. I suppose I'll have to just have him do it.
One interesting note- I told him about the dreaded and feared Indian nozzles and he told me that all the ones they use are either made in Brazil or Germany. He had never even come across nozzles made in India. I don't know what to expect, all I know is I got 150k on the original injectors and it's time to swap 'em out with something.

I dislike PayPal as well. Tom is a good guy and I'd bet he has them on the way. :)

I'd like to believe that, but it's kind of difficult since the guy won't answer his email. He is totally ignoring me. Why? Is he so busy that he can't take 5 to shoot me a reply and at least say 'sorry bout your luck'? I'd even accept 'sucks to be you'. But totally ignoring me? I just don't understand. It was really really important that I get a set from him, since he's the only one on God's green earth that balances the injectors to such exquisite tolerance. What a bummer.
