Early engine rubber plug caps

Recommended Posts

Seems many of those rubber spark plug caps disappear just like the cooling baffles do. I have a few engines missing them. Made this one using an old Champion CJ8 plug and a can of black Plasti Dip. This was the first one but think I can do even better by rolling the edge of the first dip down to make a lip before doing the second dip. Anyway, if you guys need some covers, it's pretty easy to make them. It appears more original than the rubber caps you can buy.

Works well for the stop Kill too

That looks pretty good as a replacement for the spark plug insulator #6-3, I wouldn't necessarily say they are missing for all engines, as shown in the 1961 brochure/price list they were sold as an accessory & none of the engines are shown with one fitted.

 

The 1961 price list was uploaded to the manuals thread, see Section 1, I really should have separated it into the brochures section.

I've been using Hellermann rubber sleeves for the brass tab type stop/kill switch, I might have ended up with a few when I bought & cleared the contents of the electronic parts storeroom at work. ;)
