I built a plane with a steel tube frame, so I had a lot of pieces of tube with different dimeters and wall thicknesses.  It was trivial to find a size that the injectors would squeeze into.  Then I used a washer instead of a cutting wheel in my tube cutter to add a shoulder.  It is what I'm using as the receptacle in my manifold.  I'm using the stock fuel rails, but it would have been a simple matter to weld the sockets onto a 3/8" tube to make a rail.

>I've got a factory pair of rails. I can measure the diameter of the injector cups for you tomorrow. If you can use them, I'd be happy to let them go for whatever I paid (was pretty cheap on ebay). This set is for 4 injectors: the 2 in the center housing + 2 on the intake manifold, complete with hoses.
