Most Bantam Club members recommend the use of Iridium plugs to give good starting and excellent whisker free running. These plugs have a very fine centre electrode of only 0.024 inches (0.6 mm) diameter in rare and very hard Iridium material.
The stock no is useful when looking for a plug such as in Halfords as this number is printed on the end of the box. All plugs can be obtained cheaply on eBay as there are a number of sellers with postage as low as £0.50 whereas some have free postage but a higher plug price.
Recommended plug gap for all the above plugs:- 0.018 to 0.020 inches (0.45 to 0.55 mm).
When fitting a brand new plug, tighten by hand up to the sealing washer and then tighten a further 2/3 turn with the plug spanner. When re-fitting a used plug, tighten by hand up to the sealing washer and then tighten a further 1/12 turn with the plug spanner.
