Default injector adapters to convert sidefeed hole to take top feeds

as above,
i have this manifold



which uses the ho sandwich plate, but i am wanting to convert the zetec ho sandwich plate to run top feed injectors.

now the holes in the plate are larger and the injectors are too thin to seal, is there anyway to get round this or will i need to find someone to mill some adapters up for this

cheers dave

Either get someone to turn some ally adaptors for you, or get someone to ally weld the holes up and re-machine them

this is the only solution i can think of,
its a shame to use a differnt inlet a sthis has been made pretty well and i have tapped some vac take offs into it and had the iscv mount welded on what i cut off a xr2i inlet

if i have some adapters milled i will need to run a o ring on the external of the adapters to seal
and the injecters o ring should seal the inner,
if i do have some machined i will be having a lot more made than i need to make it worthwhile
