bd95r Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hey All, I've been prototyping this with the Beechtalk community and thought it might be a good idea to post here....The short story on how this came to be was I was thinking about spark plug maintenance and decided to make a plug holder. I couldn't keep the cylinder numbers and the rotation order clear in my head and wound up making and 3D printing this thing that turned out to be pretty handy during spark plug cleaning, gapping and rotating. Here are the highlights - after many iterations : - Continental and Lycoming versions - 6 Cyl and 4 Cyl engines - Works with Champion and Tempest plugs (although they are the same size...they have different geometries) - Flex TPU insert/liner holds the plug snug - Grip slots on the bottom - With or without N number added - Measures just under 8"x 8" Some pics attached I can make more .... just message me. ....Brian D. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

201Mooniac Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Looks great and very useful including the location and rotation information. Are you going to sell these? I might be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
