Your best bet is either Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. Seriously, trying to find K-Jet injectors or even anyone to refurbish yours these days is like finding hens dentists or fertiliser manufacturers that use unicorn dung as their main ingredient.

What makes you think you need to change the injectors anyway? They're normally very reliable and there are many other reasons for rough running before condemning the injectors on a K-Jet.

Currently getting crap MPG (17) have bought new injector seals to try first and if there was a deal to be had on injectors (refurb or new) would have considered a set as part of the general overhaul of the system . Car has 180k on it .

Firstly, what engine and box is it, are you doing mainly short journeys and when did you last change the thermostat?

Second, have you checked the air filter?

Third, have you checked/cleaned the PCV system? Makes a huge difference on K-Jet cars

Fourth, what condition and level is the ATF?

There are more questions but they will be different according to your answers to those.
