Spark plug wire holders
Does anyone recondition these or sell new ones (to original specs)? Mine are rusty and the plasti-dip is peeling.
Thanks in advance,

Re: Spark plug wire holders
You can recondition them yourself. Get a can of the plastic dip for handles on pliers, etc. Just strip the old off, and then dip your wire holders in the rubber goo. Works pretty good. May take a couple of dippings to get the right thickness. I'd keep one with the plastic on it for comparison while you're dipping the other side. Then when it dries test your wires in it, then do the other side.

Be sure and sandblast or clean really good with a wire wheel and wash them with Acetone or paint prep before dipping them or the plastic won't stick for very long... LockDoc

Re: Spark plug wire holders
Thanks guys, any recommendations on brand of plasti-dip? I tried one about 10 years ago and it was real soft and didn't want to build up any thickness.
