Fokker D.VII sparkplug question
« on: July 25, 2014, 02:12:03 AM »
Hi everyone,
  I am planning to order some sparkplugs for the Mercedes D.III engine in my
Fokker (OAW) and Taurus has a bunch of them, but I haven't a clue which one
would be right.  I would appreciate some advice on this.  Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

My direct knowledge of Taurus resin is nil, but I checked the site to see which plugs we're meant for the engine I intend to use in my model. There may be more than one type, but I am confident that plugs were changed frequently and a given engine would have seen multiple types.
