Is there a good website to buy glow plug kits?

I don't believe you can buy a kit for a glow plug. All the ones I've seen are ARF.

Hardest part of building a glow plug is to get that nichrome soldered down in the bottom of the hole - especially if you're building one with an idle bar plug.

Getting the wire in isn't hard, it's spiralling it just right and then not shorting it when soldering it in place. (actually it needs welding)

Seriously, though, do you know anybody who makes their own plugs?

Everybody's gotta be good at something!

I've never built a plug, but I've done some Heathkits and Archerkits.

2 posts? I'm sorry, he only had one when I replied.

Edit: Oops, you're right, it was 2. []

I can't even un-build a plug. I tried drilling out the center contact of a plug to make a charge adapter. All I ended up with was a shorter drill bit.
