Is there any interest in these?
There was a thread on CompD discussing this and was just wondering if there would be any takers.

Dummy Glowplugs...
- Thread starter 1lowdiesel
- Start date
As long as the price isn't out of line I would be interested. My glow plugs haven't served any purpose for a while now.
Ok so 5 people so far. I'm trying to convince my plant manager to do this and I like to see that we've got a good response so far.
I've heard that doing away with the plugs you'll get a more consistance spray pattern on the injectors.

Can you post some pics of the design? If i like what i see will defanately take a set for an LB7.
Nothing fancy. Here is a stock LB7 plug. Just imagine it without the probe sticking out and with just a nut on the top and no threads.
I think we're gonna run a few here later and i'll try and post some pics once they are done and QC'd.

Usually only deleted for competition engines where heat might make the tips brittle & break off into the cylinder. You can imagine the carnage from that. 
. So they're a bit of insurance from that happening to a built engine.

Ok price will be $10 each. Didn't get time today to make any but i'll try and push it tomorrow and post some pics of the finished product.
FWIW We do make the only USA made glow plug and have been the sole supplier to the military for the last 20+ years (except for 1-2 years where they tried to save money then realized it was a bad idea lol)
