Try contacting Burton Power - they should be able to supply and I think a full set is under £10 Wink

Looks like either the head or engine will need to come out - its just too tight to get new one back in

Assume this is the core plug on the rear of 1 of the cylinder heads - any chance of getting a long / deep clamp over it to set the new core plug in place ? Something like a sash clamp ?

Just doing a bit of thinking outside the box to try and save you some time & effort !

Its the one on the right as you are looking at it - sash clamp maybe an idea - was thinking of making a bracket with bolts and spacers to try and pull/push it in - I really don't want to fetch the engine out - if I do I'm assuming it should be a days job but at least I can change all the other plugs as well
