Get your self a piece of telephone wire, you can make plenty of boots, in Green, Red, Yellow and Black.

try hook up wire from train sets from your hobby shop. pull the wires out from inside whitch becomes hollow and cut it to the size you need and run your plug wires threw it hop it makes sence to you.

RB Motion makes actual spark plug boots. There is nothing else like it.

Do they make shrink tubing that small ?....Hmmmm.

I carry a variety of colors for boots at Crazy Scale Auto Parts.

I would suggest scrounging for wire, measuring the sheathing until you find the correct O.D. to match the O.D. of the boots you are replicating. Straight boots are easy, and you can dull the sheen of the sheathing using a solvent like mineral spirits or lacquer thinner, but be sure to test first. Most plug boots I've seen on models are way too large in diameter, to thick, and too shiny/glossy, so making them on your own can eliminate those.

for 1/24 scale I use 30 gauge hookup wire for plug wires then 22 gauge for the boots. found good deals on ebay for bulk wire

I like to use hypodermic needles to simulate spark plug boots on my engines, they look pretty convincing.
