Default Spray pattern KE injectors

Who has pictures of a worn KE injector, and a new one, and, for the people who have too much pictures, in between

The spray pattern of them isn't very good actually, i've not got any pictures on the PC but they don't atomise the fuel very well.

Ive got photocopies of an original bosch book on KE Jetronic, they actually made "air shrouded injectors" which gave a lot better spray pattern over the non shrouded ones but i have no idea what cars these injectors were fitted to.

Thanks lads, mine is a little between the correct one and the straight forward one, it sprays quite far, not immediatly a cone shape, also they drip when I push the sensor plate very little, but maybe that's just because I'm teasing the system.
But, I think they are wrong based on what you say and the picture.

About the air shrouded injectors... Who knows which numbers they have, and what cars used them and who uses them in their RST??

Well, if there is a possibility it could make a difference, it's allways worth a try, altough there must be someone who allready tried....
