injector swap gone wrong

i was doing my injectors earlier today.. 96 degrees and double that in humidity, kind of pissed off i suppose. everything that could go wrong, went wrong- snapped a gasket, stripped a T-40 on the runners.. eventually i get my fuel rail off, i'm removing my injectors and then wham i snap one of those clips that hold the injector to the fuel rail... where in allmighty hell can i find one of those? would my best bet be going to my local pontiac/chevy/GM dealer and ask them?

if anyone knows otherwise, a part number or even better a link would help a lot

Re: injector swap gone wrong

I always get mine at the dealership. I believe they come in packages of 5
GM and their oddball packaging practices.

Re: injector swap gone wrong

Parts houses don't carry them, they are dealer-only item. IIRC, they were like $5 a piece when we needed some last year. But wacha gonna do, GM has to steal the money somewhere. *shrug*
