Yes I know there is a section for sprints but its not visited that often so I thought I would put this here. I have a good friend with a sprint engined car and he needs new plug tubes. After much research he has drawn a blank to find some new or pattern parts. Has anyone got a stash of new ones or found a remanufactured version that is any good.

If it doesn't fit you obviously need a bigger hammer.

Also, one of our members is building up a Sprint engine and made his own tubes. He maybe inclined to make another set if the price is right. Maybe someone can remember who he is, as my memory seems to be on holiday.

Did some looking and I believe is was Shauniedawn

I'd try the Triumph Dolomite club, they should know for sure.

I think Sprint Parts in Oz have a good replacement.
