Default Where to buy injectors?

On a previous thread, I was told about Bosch injectors and Bosch Duratherm glow plugs. I don't want anything fancy or go fast, just stock replacements same size and so on. I don't have lots to spend so what should I buy and where should I buy them?
Again, you guys need a pat on the back for the information you provide. Can't get this info anywhere else, thanks.

Do Not, I say again, Do Not purchase the Dorman fuel return line kit. It is incredibly substandard for it's purpose and fails inside of 250 miles of use. I made this $10 mistake myself. I have honestly had better luck with 7/32" vacuum line from Advance. I'm not suggesting vac line, but it's held up so far. Try to find "Tygon" fuel line. It is hands down the best line you can use for a return system. It's not pretty (clear/yellow), but stands up great under heat and cold. Most people have been able to find it at lawn mower and yard equipment shops. Also, if you get the right size (umm, I'll get back to you on that, it's metric), you wont need to use the clamps as the hose is tight enough to hold itself on the injector barb. As for the glow plugs, the Duraterms are a great plug and can be had for about $9-10 if you shop around. And as for the injectors, if you do go the ebay route, DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THE SELLER! Check their feedback, return policies, and staying power. It does you no good to get a great deal on a set of injectors with a lifetime warranty if the source closes shop in six months.

BTW, some good reading on that Dorman kit: Dorman Fuel Return Line Kit "review"..... - Diesel Place

i got the clampless dipaco ones. im an idiot and forgot to put the heatshield on the exhaust manifold after changing my injectors and that return line resisted those hot exhaust temps 6 months literally laying on it before it burned a hole in them. thats pretty tough if you ask me
