Fuel injector wiring
I just reinstalled the fuel injectors in our 87 V12 after replacing the hoses. That went well but three of the electrical connectors are missing the wire clip that retains them. Is this wire clip available or does anyone have a source for them?

Come with the connector that I remember.
Aussie fix:
From the days BEFORE computers, and Mobile Phones, AKA, the real days.
I have a luv/hate issue with those bloody clips, soooooo, removed them, and the squarish seal up inside that connector,, apply a SMALL dob of RTV to the slot in the connector that the "tongue" of the Injector mates up to. Slide the connector home, and leave them overnight, never had an issue.
Not a fix for everyone, So Be It. Even the S Type and the X Type are secured the same, and me and the cars are at peace.
Beer O'Clock, see ya.

They're out there. Google "Injector retaining wire clip" or similar
