380cc injectors

I just received my order for the JCW380cc fuel injectors from WMW. They did not include the o-rings. Somy question is, can I use the o-rings from the stock cooper-sinjectors or drive the 40 miles to the nearest Mini dealer and buynew o-rings? Makes more sense to drive the 40 miles but I'm basicallygetting tired in my old age. That and the fact the dealer is not thatkeen on dealing with us tweakers, already had two run in's with him.The last time he told me if I wanted to continue modding my car totake it to an independent garage. S I am.

I wouldn't risk damaging an o ring. They are cheap enough that it would be wise to replace them

Seems to me the injectors should have had the O-rings on them, did you call Way to discuss that ?

Your right, they are cheap enough to replace and normally I wouldn't consider not replacing them. Just not sure I want to make the drive or the effort to deal with the nearest Mini dealer anymore. And again your right. I was surprised when they showed up with out them. I have not contacted WMW yet and once again they are cheap enough that it may not be worth the trouble. I'll may just bit the bullet and make the drive to the dealership.

You'd hate to reuse an O-ring & spray gas all over a hot engine. I'd call Way & ask about the lack of O-rings.
