Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 14 x 1.25 x 3/4" Long, 44111
Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 14 x 1.25 x 3/4" Long, 44111
Price: $2.00
This item is eligible for Econo / 1st class shipping (subject to min ship charge of $5)

Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 14 x 1.25 x 3/4" Long, 44111 is the best thread repair kit available. This size is typically used to repair damaged spark plug threads in cylinder heads. For this item we use Copper Inserts, it is more consistent size-wise, and has better heat transfer, than the steel inserts. These Inserts are sold per EACH.

Time-Sert inserts are superior in every way to typical "Heli Coil" thread repair kits (which are usually wrapped wire, very weak and troublesome to install!).

Time-Sert inserts are solid, and also have a flared shoulder that prevents leakage, and locks the insert into place without excessive Loctite needed.

The repair process is to drill out the old threads, then use the shoulder cutting tool (To make room for the insert's shoulder on the top), tap the hole, then install the new insert. Hole will be repaired, and will be stronger and better than it was when it was new, due to the larger diameter holding power!

Spark Plug Wire End (Bakelite Plug Connector), All Models, Each, 113-035-255A
Price: $2.95
This item is eligible for Econo / 1st class shipping (subject to min ship charge of $5)

Spark Plug Wire End (Bakelite Plug Connector), All Models, Each, 113-035-255A are often cracked when owners and mechanics try to yank the wire end off or on, at an ANGLE. These have the spring loaded clip inside which grips the threaded end of the plug. If these are cracked, the spark can jump outside the plug to ground, causing a cylinder misfire. These are sold each, you need 4 to seal up one engine. Some folks prefer these wire ends to the ones that come on "high end" plug wires, and remove the factory wire end, then trim the OD of the silicone wire and then thread this one one instead! Color may vary from picture.
NGK B7ES Spark Plug, 14 x 3/4" Reach Threads, Conventional Tip, 13/16" Socket
NGK B7ES Spark Plug, 14 x 3/4" Reach Threads, Conventional Tip, 13/16" Socket
Price: $3.00

NGK B7ES Spark Plug, 14 x 3/4" Reach Threads, Conventional Tip, 13/16" Socket is a regular tip spark plug, suitable for VW engines. Regular tips are less expensive and give piston clearance that can be a problem with projected tips.

The B7ES spark plug has a conventional tip, suitable for carbureted and fuel injected aircooled VW engines. The conventional tip will tend to foul easier than the projected top plugs, and also shrouds the spark slightly compared to projected top plugs.

This plug is the correct heat range for HOT engines, since it's 2 steps colder than stock.

The B7ES has 14mm threads, and is 3/4" reach (long). It fits the Type 4 heads, but it also fits the newer Factory VW DP heads, because the 1/2" reach plugs had a tendency to strip, so the 3/4" reach is an improvement.

Heat Range: Stock Heat Range is a "5". "6" is used in busses and Type 3s. "7"s are a really "Hot Street" plug, and "8"s and "9"s are almost exclusively Turbo Use.

The D8EA has 12mm threads, and is 3/4" reach (long). It fits modified VW heads that utilize the smaller plug to make room for huge valves. If your heads use a "Motorcycle Plug" these are an excellent choice.

Heat Range: Stock Heat Range is a "5". "6" is used in busses and Type 3s. "7"s are a really "Hot Street" plug, and "8"s and "9"s are almost exclusively Turbo Use.

The B6ES has 14mm threads, and is 3/4" reach (long). It fits the Type 4 heads, but it also fits the newer Factory VW DP heads, because the 1/2" reach plugs had a tendency to strip, so the 3/4" reach is an improvement.

Spark Plug Starter Threading Tool, 12" Long
Spark Plug Starter Threading Tool, 12" Long
Price: $19.95

Spark Plug Starter Threading Tool, 12" Long is a fantastic toolbox item! For years we used to use a length of breather hose to start spark plugs in difficult to access places, but this tool is better! This tool is a "Must Have" in the toolbox of any VW Beetle or Bus Enthusiast.

Internal Cable within a "stiff" Exoskeleton do it! We recommend that you loosen your plugs with your ratchet and socket as normal, then push this tool on and bend it so that it routes and aims properly. Now remove the plug. Put the new one in the tool, and it's already aimed for an easy thread starting job, minimizing the risk of cross threading! You'll finish the job with your ratchet and socket again. The Exoskeleton is stiff to hold it's shape, it won't wriggle, flex, or get tweaked if you have to "crank" the internal cable!
