Fuel Rail Hold-Downs

[Kevin Hall]

I'm just wondering what kind of simple hold-downs people have come up with for their fuel rails. Ours is a bit of a pain, and doesn't work so well. Basically, the front and back of our rail have square faces, as do our injector bosses. A couple strips of aluminum tie them together. I'm sure somebody has come up with something better, so I'm looking for suggestions.

Also, just to verify my measurements, I measure 73.9mm between injectors for the F4. Is this what others are getting?

Thanks in advance

don't know about the rails, but assuming the injectors are the same distance apart as the port centers, I got 74mm pretty much spot on. I wonder whether Honda would have made the distances 73.9 or 74?
