JB spark plugs

I think that's up to the modeler

now, about the lead connection .... short of attempting to drill a hole, is just "butt joint" gluing the best way around? seems like a mechanical joint would offer more strength in the long run.

I made lead ends from .4mm tubing, squashed and drilled:

Like Bo, I make my connectors from flattened 0.4mm brass tube with a 0.3mm hole drilled to slip over the spark plug, with a drop of CA it makes for a very positive and strong connection.

awesome tips here - the flattened tube ends on the plug wire I gotta try....

i think the wire I used for the spiral wrap was something like .05mm... can't remember off hand (and not home to measure it) -- anyway very small

The spiral wrapped wire I use is 0.23mm, it fits very nicely into the end of the 0.4mm brass tube.

I get my wire from ear plugs, the small plugs that fit inside your ear for listening to music etc, there are three wires inside the small white plastic outer tube, I buy the ear plugs from $2 shops so you can strip a lot of ignition leads for very little expense.
