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. :D

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):D

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.

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.
