Later today I am off to my friendly Injector guru to have a new injector pipe made up. I would like to get a new genuine set for my 1Y 1.9 engine but am unsure which one would fit. The pipes currently on the vehicle are a mixed bunch which look like they have been sourced from other vehicles and been bent to fit so I can't make a visible comparison.
Brickwerks sell a couple of after market sets, anyone have any experience with these or have any other advice?

Re: Which injector pipes?
If you have a non standard set are you sure that you have the original 1.9 pump? There would have been no need to adapt the correct ones on the correct pump.
Brickwerks only have pipes for 1.6/1.7 engines from what I can see.

Re: Which injector pipes?
Why do you say they look mixed?
Injector pipes must all be the same length, so the injectors close to the pump have to what looks like excess length pipes.

Re: Which injector pipes?
I would guess that the pump belongs to the 1Y block but since the engine was replaced before I bought the vehicle I can't be sure. It looks like the pipes to no.2 and no.3 injector are original and you can make out the original clip marks. No.4 is a replacement I made about 6 or 7 years ago and no.1 is the one which just failed and which to me looked very "borrowed".
The only important thing is the relationship between the pump and the individual injectors so I am sure one of the two Brikwerks sets will fit.
If I make it to Busfest I might have to do a bit of nosing around and see what I can learn there.

Re: Which injector pipes?
You mention "original clip mark"s in your post, so you obviously know that the original pipes would have been clipped together.
Without these clips the pipes are doomed to quick failure, because they vibrate, harden, crack and then fail. The clips dampen the vibrations. Whichever set of pipes you end up with, you absolutely must have the clips on them, or they WILL fail.
Sorry if you know this already.
