RAS1 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I talked with vintage wiring of maine, they can't make spark plug wires anymore because they are missing the weasel end. Does anyone have some good used ones or new ones I could buy and send them to have them made? Let me know! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I had them make me a set for my T15 about 6 months ago. Looks like I was lucky to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 @RAS1Dave, I can't see why you could not make the spark plug wires yourself. The spark plug caps and grommets would be available from most G503 Vendors and the cored HT wire would be available from a good Auto Electrician. You might have a bit of trouble finding this little weasel gem below. Its the spark plug cable retainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are there so many hard to find cool parts! 😀 Can you give me more direction on a vendor who has the correct ends? Thanks! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAS1 Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 So my weasel is an m29c serial number 5096. What is correct for spark plug organizer loom, the grey flat one pictured by m29 above, or the circle one? Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M29 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Dave you are flushing out some great info! Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29C3284 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 @RAS1 The round one is correct for the T24, M29 and M29C. The flat tube is for T15 and Studebaker cars from 1932. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAS1 Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Very nice! I love your engine! You could eat off that machine. Where do I find the circle spark plug wire bracket, or are they just not out there. thanks, Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29C3284 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 @RAS1Thank you. Since this part is one of those parts that are originally made from unobtainium. I made one, from some scrap thinwall tubing I had laying around. Dimensions in the drawing below. I flared the ends by placing the tube piece on the round end of a ball peen hammer and then used another hammer to knock the ball end of the first hammer into the tube, creating the flare. I then repeated the process on the other end, cleaned it and painted it with some cold galvanizing paint which I gave a slight polish after it had dried. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAS1 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hi Everyone, I finally found the ends of the spark plug wires in europe. I have sent them to vintage wiring, but now they are asking me about the correct length for the weasel? They say they have 3 different patterns. I have an M29C, so any ideas on correct lengths to tell them would help. thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
