Spark Plug boot BREAK THROUGH - Try This 

In the past I've used 22 gage electrical wire. That's pretty small, but a couple of feet of it will last through several models. Your tip is a very good one.

Great tip. I doo something similar with a drill bit. I will also slide the boot to the end of the bit, let about a quarter to half slide off. Then slide the end of the ignition wire into the boot. Once started you can finish sliding the boot over the wire. Easier to hold the bit with the boot at the end verse the little boot by itself between your fingers trying to thread the ignition wire through the boot

Great tip Mark, now there are no excuses for not putting boots on the wires. Cheers

Great tip Mark, and a beautiful engine too!

That looks simple enough even I think I can handle that we'll have to give her a try thanks for sharing

Good stuff Mark I’ve used the pin but never rolled it I will try this

Dang buddy that motor is beautiful amazing detailing. Thank you for sharing your tip. I appreciate it might make it easier next time. Have a great week my friend 😎😎👍

Great tip Mark. Thanks for sharing

*Hi good morning Mark~I just Subscribed~I wanted to tell you I had a little bit different deal I did 20 years ago while doing my spark plug boots~I would use the "T" handle type push pins I would use in balsa model airplane making application back in the day~And I would shove it into the boot~Now it would only go in half way as the DIA is way bigger than the straight pin you were using~But it would stretch the one side momentarily to let you shove the spark plug wire in very easily without having to roll it at all~Speeding it up as I found I don't have any patience at all lol ~Glad I found your channel my friend~Have a super great day my friend :))*

I've been doing it that way for years and I have been using the colored vinyl insulation from paper clips as boots the clips come in varying sizes so they work in many scales and come in lots of colors!... Still pretty cool tip and I love your products.

Very cool Mark!!

I see the method but what are the sizes of the wire and what are the sizes of the boot?

This is an old video but a timeless tip thanks for sharing. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist

Ok but what do you use for the boots.

Thanks for the tip.

Just found you Mark - Subd! Great tip thank you for sharing.

Cool tip. Thanks.

Thanks Mark 🏁🏁👍

Roll, roll, roll your boots, Gently down the stream, Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.

Hey Mark it’s Billy from Model Car N Truck Maniacs

Great tip

Yes, good tip!

Awesome!

Thx!!

I use wire for the plug wires, set everything to length then use heat shrink for the spark plug boots

A home staple works to..I like the pin idea..is there any tricks of making 90 degree plug wire boots for distributor cap

What size spark plug wire and boot

Let me put my glasses on my glasses so I can see....me too.

Hi Thanks for sharing this. What gauge wire are You using for the sparkplug/distribuyor wires. Thanks again, take care /Rosemary

Ive always done that

Just checked out your shop offthesprue..... awesome.. how did i not know about this until now???? Gotta ask,im sure you dont mind but can i put that on my FB for my model buddies???

What gauge wiring is best for plug wires? Thanks

Do we need microscopic detail ? Just saying g

Where are you getting your Magnetos from, need those badly

Where did you get that air filter

You could probably get the same result just rolling the boot/pin between two fingers.

put them in hot water...they will expand easier

Where did the pulleys and air cleaner come from

Hey guy, do you live in the Philadelphia area ? I was at a car model show in South Philly and I think I saw your model ? Let me know .
