You can go to most GOOD hardware stores will have them also. I found some at my local one, they cost me 50 cents. I put some teflon tape around em and theyre done.

I just made some covers also. The bolt size is 5/8"-11. You need them to be between 3/4" and 1" long. Also if you make the covers just bolt them in using the small hole which is a 5/16"-18.

yeah i couldnt remember what size they were but i remember they were something oddball. pioneer makes plugs, and your local auto parts store probably has a pioneer catalog (or call you local machine shop they prolly have them in stock

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

thats what they look like, but to pay 10.00 handling fee for a 4.00 part just sucks - so go buy them locally [8D]
