Default Source for injector plug boots?

Any place sell 'em? And any way to get them on w/o cutting and splicing the harness? I think the black boots look way better than this:

Thanks Aklim. I'm looking for the black boot that slips over that pig tail and connector.

You can see them in this pic....




And here....

this might be a tough one. can't say I've ever seen any type of "wrap around" boot. I had to replace the connector on my 9th injector, and made a boot by using various sizes of heat shrink sleeving, but then again, I had to splice a whole new injector plug.

worst case, bfenty is cutting up his wrecked 85 right now, u could get him to cut his harness and you could carfully swap them

i do know that on the 85 i had the wire itself back out of the crimp on one of the plug terminals. will tose terminals come out using a pick or small flathead to depress a retainer tab and carefully pull wires out?

the other stuff ive used that looks really "factory" is called "magic wrap". looks great.
