Injector insert for IO-360 engine

[Robert M. Gary]

I seem to have lost the insert for one of the injectors on my IO-360
engine. Can anyone recommend a source to buy these? I've heard from
some shops that I may need to buy an entire new injector but I thought
I'd ask around if anyone knows another source. What do people do with
the inserts when they replace injectors?

I am not certain but I think that the insert is the injector. It is
the insert that has the calibrated orifice. The threaded portion is
just the carrier for that insert. I think that the two piece design is
easier to make. You'll probably have to bite the bullet and buy the
assembly.

This is a stock injector so they are all calibrated the same coming off
the factory. No tuning to the application at all.
