I have a 40mm x 6mm if any good?

The inside bore is 1/4" not sure if thats what you meant, you may need to stretch and cut down if you need it sprung.

Compression or expansion ?


theconrodkid - 25/9/10 at 06:17 PM

expansion,it,s like you would find in a biro,ie very fine wire,length is not important as i can stretch/chop it.
it fits into the DI (coil pack) on my SAAB and touches the top of the spark plugs
