Plastic ones have been available for a little while, and at a much more Christmas-friendly price. Previous thread here on the site somewhere.

I just posted on these not long ago after talking with john Bizal to make sure they were available. I will be getting a set for mine eventually. And the military also had them available.

I have seen them in avaparts a long time ago, but I have not bought them, on this page they cost € 11.90 each ... But they are in the Czech Republic.
Maybe the next time I buy on this website I will put them in the basket. All the best

I got mine many years ago. And used them with those Bosch platinum plugs. Big question why. Later on I installed a new set of NOS plugs and I have another spare set. Through how many sets of plugs will I ever go? Nobody except George needs any of those adapters.

Spark plugs on these old engines don't last like the newer cars. Old school plugs, they do wear out unlike the new style plugs.

I got a set of spark plug adapters from Midwest military .com $30.00 each Just make sure the plug is tight in the adapter for proper heat transfer.
