Jeff,

I've run into the same problem myself. I figured that grinding or cutting off the glow plug post would be the obvious fix, but then I wondered if the intense vibrations from the grinding/cutting would possibly destroy the coil or somehow damage the insulation between the center post and the glow plug body.

To solve (so I thought) the problem, I bought a Du-Bro remote glow plug socket. It sucked! The spring wire clip they use will fit any plug, but the thing would not stay on properly for very long. The dummy plug at the other end was poorly designed as well, and wouldn't stay tight enough to allow me to attach my twist-on glow driver.

I finally bought what I think is the best glow plug remote connector yet. It's a "Kavan type" connector from Cermark. It looks great too; like a scale spark plug boot.

Something else that works: cut off the Sullivan clip and solder the lead to a small wheel collar. Then clamp the little wheel collar onto the glow plug post.

Good flying,
Bob Scott
