That is a big "if". The hose and barbs on the injector rails are designed to work under heat and at fairly decent pressures without sleeves or clamps of any type, and are specifically not designed to be taken apart and put back together again. It does not take much of a fuel leak this system to quickly reduce an otherwise fine car to scrap metal, so I would want to know that any replacement parts are at least as durable ad the factory part. But as the man said, "it is your car and your money".................
