The guy in Canberra who does my machining work keeps a heap in his shop. Maybe try your machine shop rather than the retail stores?

Duncan Foster engineering in Blacktown... have got some wierd sizes from them in the past, and would be suprised if they did not have exactly what you need.

Cheers,

I just buy them one at a time from my local Auto-one store , but then the only welsh plugs I have bought recently were to remove the water bypass tubes from the front of a couple of v6's .

thanks guys for your input, the problem I came across was that 1 1/4in was not a standard size anymore and they would not break into packs or separately order from supplier ( or just not interested in the stores around here to help).
Problem now solved 2 companies could not do enough and could supply separately in case any one else has this problem

Now back to the car!
