Spark Plug Socket

[viper61]

I Know this has been asked a lot, but i've been looking around the net, just want to buy a plug socket that will fit. I prefer the have the correct socket for plugs (rubber insert) but can't seem to find one in the correct size. Makes the job easier and i'm currently on a tool buying binge.

Any links of one people know of? I think it's a 13mm if I remember correctly?

Otherwise it's gonna be putty in a socket time :)

Cheers guys.

I couldn't find one off the shelf, I got a deep socket of the right size and cut a bit of old bicycle inner tube and stuffed it inside the socket, seems to work OK.

Yeah same, haven't been able to find one either. Might just have to go the putty route. I can find 9/16s from America, would be about the same size I guess?

I got mine from here.

I don't think you can buy a specific 13mm plug wrench, if you could it would be made specifically for these bikes.

You can get the original wrench from David Silver also: http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/part ... ber_14417/

I prefer to use a deep 13mm socket with my own-made rubber insert.

Okay cheers guys, just wondered. I've got the standard one in the tool kit, thanks. I think that's what i've used previously. Just trying to get as many tools for working on the bike as possible so as to make things a lot easier. Think i'll give the putty in the socket a go this weekend.

I don't know if the NC30's plugs are the same as the NC21's (I've got the latter) but I've got a ½" drive, 10mm plug socket from Halfords, as well as a long reach box spanner in the same size.
The size refers to the diameter of the threaded bit, the hex size is larger- for a 10mm plug it's about 16mm.

I think there's only about 4 sizes of plugs used on light vehicles so that cuts down on the choice, probably...

NC30/35's use the 5th size...

8mm plugs, very rare size indeed.
