There's places on e-bay, but you could look up Lateral Performance, Mark Aigin, he does flow matching and stuff with injectors.

The usual first port of call for injector stuff / info / flow matching etc is Mark Aigin at Lateral performance (see above post)

Or buy some in better condition.........

Already mentioned Lateral above shaun...

Paul @ Zen used to do this, there are several companies who clean and flow test on ebay ( we used one, was OK ) about £10 an injector I think.
Roger Clarke I think too, ??

Or as above, just buy a new good set - Andy Forrest does a range quite reasonable cost, £370 for 550 cc/mincheap.
