VW spark plugs

Hi All, planning on drilling the second set of plug holes in my new heads and was wondering what the received wisdom was re 12mm long or short-reach plugs? The current heads use 14mm plugs top and bottom, but I think 12mm on the bottom is probably better. Cheers, Dave

Hi Colin, I may well take you up on that. I'm not having much joy at all with sorting these mags out, and would much prefer dual electronic ignition anyway.

Interestingly, two brand-new Trigger Wheels systems is coming in cheaper than having my two old mags overhauled, so I'd certainly like to go that route!

Yup - emailed and left a message on the phone. That was about a week ago, currently, no joy.

Electronic ignition for VW

Hi All, I'd really like to put electronic ignition in my VP-1. Does anyone have any experience of the Trigger Wheels system, or a current contact for Leburg?
Cheers, Dave
