Default Is there any way to buy just the fuel injector plastic pieces?

So removing my injectors, i suspect the first time its ever been done, lead to them breaking while being removed. Only the plastic inserts broke, with the o ring as well. Is there any place I can buy these? Or if not, is it at all possible to just buy a few new injectors instead of all them being new.?

The product I'm looking at doesn't seem to include the plastic covers that seal the injector to the engine? Am i mistaken?

Thank you for this information though.

Plastic... covers? Usually injectors have an O ring seal to the intake and another O ring seal to the fuel rail. Do you have a pic?

I should say, some injectors have a plastic disk that retains the lower O-ring which usually gets replaced when you service the injectors. This is in place to the pintle cover "hat" that often breaks when injectors are removed, or sometimes these get stuck in the intake.

I do not know what the PFL injectors are like, that kit referenced earlier (which includes plastic pintle caps) as per Rockauto may not be a correct application.
