Replace spark plug boot

I can send you a Chonda cap for the price of the postage and you can just shorten the lead a little and screw it on. Let me know if you want it, it is never going to get used here.

These should be at the auot parts supplier and do make these adjustable (bendable)versions too.

Thanks AVB :), I'll check it out, though I think the insert hole in the boot might be too small.. it's about 2-3mm opening.. ill check it out anyways

I'm not following

.. you used a self tapping screw? slipped the boot over the spark plug and self tapped to make contact ?

As far as i'm aware, yup I believe it's the stock wire.. though I think this boot/wire came from a VICTA VC160 mower.

Thanks Aussietrev

. Any idea on postage cost though? If it's possible to send as a large letter (Up to 260 x 360 x 20mm
Up to 125g), Ill take it

.. think its about $2

Regards,

I'll find out after the break and let you know. It's ridiculous that Auspost now want $2 to send a birthday card that in February was only a dollar. I doubt that it will be under 20mm though so I'll check the small parcel rate as well.
