Fuel rails

Looking at whats available, seems to me a guy with a drill press and a little knowledge could make a fuel rail.

Fuel Rail Extrusions This link even gives the right tool to cut the o-ring versions.

I am going to make myself one and see how it goes, I might even have a family member who might back me in a venture of this nature if my 1st one is worthy. Time to order some extruded stock and see what happens. Since I have both L28 and VG30e motors on hand I could do a set for both. No offense to palnet, I just thought it would be a fun experiment that might have legs

Yes give it a try! The biggest thing would be precisely measuring the holes and making sure they are square. Rest it pie!

Exactly

That's what I was thinking, it's just a matter of precise measurements, when ever I build something that needs to be repeated I build a jig, so once the 1st one is done, it's just rinse and repeat.

sweet

Thanks Jamal, that is basically what I want mine to look like, for a stock injector, measurements could be off ever so slightly and the short little hoses on the injectors can bend a bit. The o-ring versions I am assuming need to be exact.

I think either way they would have to be spot on due to seals on the intake manifold. Not sure how much error you could have before you would have a leak.
