Subject: Re: DB Lagonda spark plug caps
I ordered the two versions available from Holden, one is black modern plastik and has no resistor, the other is brown classical hard resin and has 5kOhm. Both have the SAE 6.3mm connector to the spark plug. The brown classical one is produced by Bremi in Germany, part no 10249N5, Bremi also have other versions
The black one is 21mm diameter and 70mm long and does not fit into the rubber cap
The brown one is 19mm diameter and 62mm long. I ground it down on lathe to 17mm diameter to fit into my rubber caps
I think new rubber caps, also available from Holden, might have solved the problem more easily, the inner diameter looks larger on the Holden homepage.
Some more usefull parts suppliers for the DB Lagonda:
gsparkplug.com have (cheaper than others):
distributordoctor.com:
have rotor arm and distributor cap, a bit more expensive than Holden but claim to have better quality, might be also a good address for other distributors (even V12) and repair
