18mm spark plugs
Hi Ted.
I purchased a couple of spark plugs for my pre-war at Beaulieu in 2006 and haven't used them since, so I'll have a look at them and measure the thread depth and post it here.
Having said that, I ran the car for quite some time on lawn mower plugs!!! and didn't notice much difference.
Perhaps someone with a bit of knowledge about plug temperature curves etc. which apply to the pre-wars will add his/her comments. There must be a few brochures about plug types and their action and use held by members of the site.
Regards,
Tony.

18mm spark plugs
Hello again Ted.
I've checked the plugs I bought and they are CHAMPION 7 with an 18mm thread. The thread depth is as you say about 12mm if you ignore the 'washer'.
I also have some new 1010 NGK A-6 plugs of similar dimensions which I believe I bought from Roy Braddock, so I suppose they'll do as well.
The Champion plugs are wrapped in a type of grease-proof paper with instructions printed on it. I note that inter alia the recommended life of the plugs, if maintained properly, is 10,000 miles!!.
Can't see me doing that sort of mileage in the next few years.
Best wishes for the festive season,
Tony.

Thanks Tony,
Seasons greetings to you as well on this frosty Lancashire day.
My plugs look to be suitable then.
However I think mine are of an older type.
All are KLG corundite, type M50. They have a detachable centre electrode and two earth electrodes.
The really nice thing about them is that each plug comes wrapped in moisture repellent paper in its own individual tin with a blue hinged lid with K L G in gold.
I have twelve altogether, 6 with screw on thread caps and 6 with cardboard tubes. All have the top circlip.
The tins are in original cardboard boxes, 6 to a box.
All have a patina of rust but polish up to silver on the rotary wire brush which leads me to think they may be unused. The tins are in good condition considering they are probably 60 years old or more.
They would make a nice accessory, if nothing else.
I was given them by a cousin who was clearing a deceased relatives garage.
He asked me to sell them for charity.
I would suggest a price of 3 pounds each plus p and p.
Anybody interested please get in touch, my phone no is in the mem list.
Regards
Ted
