wanted BOOST PIN

i am looking for a boost pin as an upgrade for my AAZ.  I believe they are from the 1.6 or some model of rover.

The Rover pin is the real hot-rod... I had one but sold it a while ago. I still have a new set of KermaTDI AAZ injection nozzles, bigger than stock. Combining the pin and nozzles with bumped-up pop pressure makes the AAZ wake up.

I still have some boost pins.  It depends what you want though.  If you're careful you can grind your aaz pin to give you more on boost fueling.

I found a picture...The Rover pin is shaped sort of like a bell; wide at the bottom for about a 1/4" lip and then tapers in a linear fashion... it's nothing exotic, simply a linear diminishing diameter. If you have a drill press, you could probably chuck a stock pin and turn it on slow speed, and grind it down with a dremel, or take this picture to a machine shop.

The spring rate is pretty imortant too, AAZ spring is too weak & vomits fuel.

What are you looking to get for the injectors?
