Part # for Fuel Injector Retainer Clips?

I lost 2 of my injector retainer clips, the ones that hold the Fuel Injectors properly in the rail. Is there a part number for them, or does anyone have 2 of them they want to sell to me

Thanks,
Jon

There is no need for them they are there to hold the inj. into the rails on the assembly line but once it is together they can not move from where they ned to be.

The injectors that do not have the clips are not seated as deep into the intake manifold as the ones that do. I read a thread where people were saying that it will cause leaks, etc etc. Misinformation I guess? You are the fuel injection man as far as I know

All I know is that my new fuel rails (FAST) have no provisions for these clips, and my injectors are seated just fine...no leaks, no nothing. Just the four bolts clamping them down.

If you really want one just go to a salvage yard get a couple. But like others have said, they are there originally for the plant for ease of installation.
