Default RE: Replacement glow plug washer???


ORIGINAL: RCKen

Do you have any old washers off of old glow plugs?? I know that there are probably 10-15 of them floating around in my flight box as I just haven't ever cleaned them out. Call a flying buddy and ask for one of their old ones. That would be a lot easier than trying to match one up at a hardware store.

I pick up every one Ifind on the flight line. Same with dead glow plugs. The price of platnum and copper today, I figure in another 10 years I will have acculimated enough to buy a new glow plug. Ahhhh , wait a minute, the price of new plugsis going to go up too, it may take 15 years before I have enought of the saved. Maybe I shoud go visit otther clubs and see if I can pick up some there.

Sorry, couldn't resist that. I'm a dedicated aculimator of stuff that may come in hand some day, and a charter member of Pack Rats Anomusious, or how ever you spell it.

My flight box has more than one washer. little screws and steel washers, you name it . When I pull my starter out, I have to pick the fruit hanging on it before I can use it.. Man those magnets are powerful.
