Spark plug socket ?
Can anyone recoomend a suitable spark plug socket for my old ZX10 engine ?
I have one which fits the plugs, but doesn't fit the cylinder head as it's a bit too fat. It is 1/2" drive right enough.
A link to an appropriate socket would be appreciated for a socket to suit ZX10 or ZZR1100.
Cheers

1/2 drive a little large for spark plugs especially in ali heads, 3/8 drive and a 6" ratchet, shouldn't be able to twist the threads out
of the head.
The reason Rovers have Buick engines, American mechanics ripped the threads out of the heads by over tightening.

I have the Draper bike one Zil. Fits the Zed fine.
It's just a long tube with a bar at the end.
