Thorn,
I haven't made up any plugs in a while, but still do run them "once
every few months".
The plugs are made from 6061-T6 aluminum with 14mm x 1.5mm
threading. Ends have a double step to fill the air injection hole to
prevent the "bird chirp" sound effects.
For a set of four of the plugs, I charge $23.20 ($20 + $3.20 shipping).
Oh, currently I donate half of the $20 to charity, usually American
Cancer Society. The other half is used for the "tool, beer, and tax"
fund. ;-)
Cheers,
Tom Walter
Austin, TX.
