You should probably just get a 'new' injector, as I don't think the little
metal ring is available separately (it's not in the engine, right?)
jwsvws (link on scirocco.org) has used injectors for sale, they'll also
clean them for you, not sure of their process though.  Jim had his done
by them, and they work very well.  When I did my Motronic conversion, I
had the injectors cleaned at C&C Fuel Injection in Colorado (link also
on scirocco.org). However, they're much more expensive then jwsvws service.
