Hi Dave,
Silly me I was fooled by the reference to VSG's which indeed are part of your Flat Seat Injection Nozzle and as well the later type of capsule nozzles used after the 2U. These VSG's we knew as Flat Seat Nozzles at the Dealer when we were doing these regularly so as to differentiate between the two types.
I should have checked the OMI or parts book.
The replacement Flat Seat Injection Nozzle VSG's you are after have not been available from Cat for Many years, however they are often able to be reconditioned using the correct Cat reconditioning kit of convex and concave laps for resurfacing the end of the injector body, the end of the nozzle (VSG) body, and the concave needle end face--the end disc surface needs to be lapped flat to remove the wear/erosion from the needle end--sometimes the needle side face at the sealing end needs to be ground a little to remove erosion damage to save lapping too much off the end of the needle and also to reduce the end area back some.
Scans below should help.
There was someone on here doing them (Bill Walter I think) but age caught up and he retired-I do not know if someone else is doing them now.
Cheers,
