Hello Friends, I have a problem and I hope that you can help me. I am finishing up the Annual on my '46 415-D. I have the short "lawnmower" sparkplugs on top that live inside the little shielding cans. Although the upper wires themselves test good continuity-wise, my wire ends at the plugs are breaking off and making poor contact with the cigarette springs. The cigarettes there are rigid tubes and unlike other cigarettes that I have seen. I need to either replace the entire good upper wire set or strip back the wires at the plug ends to re-establish contact with the springs. Stripping back the wire ends to extend their reach through the cigarettes will require the replacement of the old crimped on connectors that fasten with a nut to the plug cans. The crimps limit the amount of usable wire that I can expose with stripping. Any advice: Part numbers and source of new crimps to save the old wires, new correct wire source, etc. would be VERY much appreciated. I am an A+P and would prefer fabricating something new and airworthy from bulk parts rather than paying for someone else's labor. Since the upper connectors look so different from other ones I have seen, I am concerned about finding the right ones the first time. Thanks in advance! -Vince Pujalte Bisbee, AZ www.greatcom.org/laws/ ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/
