[Tigers] Spark plug installation tool

[Sandy Ganz]

It's very flexible, almost too flexible. I think it's just made of some sort
of vinyl or rubbery stuff. I don't think their is any metal at all in it. I
have seen one a long while ago with a springy wire flex shaft but could not
find that one (might have been by KD tools but it was a long while ago when I
saw it).
 
This are OK, you could likely make your own with something like
some vacuum lines, or a good silicon boot from a wire set. 
 
For 10 bucks
with shipping (if you are an amazon prime member) it's not bad. I think I paid
like 6 bucks for them from another tool site.

Hey Sandy:

I have
never laid eyes on one of these "installers", and figured that shaft 
must be
some sort of flexible rubber/plastic, correct? Otherwise it would 
never fit
in under the steering column, on my Tiger at least!

So just how flexible is
it anyway?

I have a different plug socket for each of the 4 plugs under the
steering 
column....but now that I have figured out how easy it is to pull the
column 
back I don't need them any more.

Dave
