What to use

[wheaton79chris]

What can I use for spark plug boot material. I don't have money to buy expensive stuff so I've been trying wire and the coatings. The ones I've tried are too small or too large. What can I use and please be specific on where or what to get it from. Appreciate any answers guys

Telephone wire has several strands individually wrapped inside, try that.

Starting with an average size 1:1 spark plug wire (8mm), divide by 25 and you get .32mm, which is very close to 1/64th inch. Use 1/32nd for your boot.

You could go old school and try stretched sprue. Basically you heat up a section of sprue and pull the ends in opposite directions the heated section will get thinner the further you pull leaving you with, hopefully , the proper sized boot . If you are really good you can get all 8 in one pull.It takes practice but the sprue is free with every kit you buy.
