Gimmee a Boot---

[Brian Rupnow]

No, not that kind of a boot. The last 3 i.c. engines I have built all use either NGK or Honda CM6 sparkplugs. These are really nice little plugs, with an M10 x 1 thread that are the perfect size for the models I build. however, they have a weird shaped top on them that a standard sparkplug boot doesn't fit. And after multiple electrocutions, I have decided to put boots on them----And I can't find them. Neither can any of my local part stores. Can someone out there tell me where I can buy a rubber or silicone boot to fit these plugs, please.----Brian

This is the same as the molding compound we use at work for casting threads and small grooves for examination on the optical comparator. It would let you create a custom, tight fitting, boot. I can't do anything about the blue color though

Machine a mold from aluminum and cast one in rubber.

Okay Guys---thank You---I had ordered parts from S and S engineering 2 or 3 years ago when I built the Kerzel, but couldn't remember their name. I have just ordered 3 boots and plug wires from them. I know that I could make a mold and make my own silicone boots, in fact there is an excellent "how to" right on this forum, but I'm lazy today.----Brian

The sparkplug boots and wires that I had ordered from Roy Sholl at www.cncengines.com showed up today, and as usual they did a great job, and the boots fit the CM6 sparkplugs perfectly. Thanks Roy, and I'm posting this as a heads up to anybody else looking for this type of sparkplug accesory.----Brian
