Default Cutting pintle cap for grey injectors
I took mine out today and found a standard non-modified Weber-type pintle cap on the end of it and I'm assuming that this is wrong and they need to have the end nibbled off?

Can someone please post a pic of a correctly modified weber pintle cap fitted to a grey injector?

And is this ok to do seeing as the injectors are sitting in a FRST manifold? ie: the flow pattern will be ok for this inlet?

Thanks,

Mark
