Default RE: Remote glow setup

I have ried a few different remote glow solutions and now I use the Tettra glow plug cap on my engines. They slide on easily and it takes a good pull to get them off. I pick them up at Central Hobbies, here is a link to the page. It is the fifth item down.

ORIGINAL: Vortec

Here is my remote glow set up.Its from TY1 and the purple plug cap is just like the one on your car,just not push fit.You pull on the red cable and a spring loaded clip inside the "boot"opens which you put over the top of the plug.The red wire goes to the dummy plugs centre and a black wire is screwed to the outside of the dummy plug and goes to any ground you want on the engine.
Century Helicopter sells these for ~$8 here. I've used one on an Irvine 53. Worked great for about 300 flights but then the vibration wore through the brass tube in the clip. Still, 300 flights for $8 is not so bad.

someone suggested to drill out an old glow plug then inserting a insulated piece of wire . anyone have a tip for doing this at the end for the remote mount?

I don't like those boot things. They tend to snap off when you undo them, for whatever reason. They work great up to that point though.

Using Sullivan head lock, works great. I had to take it apart and solder the wire inside at the brass eyelet piece, permanent fix.
The Tettra piece looks good.

This set-up comes with the Sullivan head lock. The outside red piece is from an epoxy bottle, cut open, the black piece which covers this unit, is a black flex plastic from something I had in the shop, it just slides right in, friction holds it.
