u will find another problem in the 12 mm plugs have a longer reach so they will protrude into the chamber

what wrong with 14mm plugs ??
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

12mm are cheaper.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

forget about adapter just weld the hole and drill to suit. while you at it weld above the inlet ports, remodel the chamber, replace the seats, valves and guides, cut for dual springs, etc.
bitten by the bug..........several times

You forgot 'Machine out for big bore kit' and 'Open up ports for 48 IDAs' etc.😁
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

the main reason for it is so the spark plug is up just that lil higher away from the inlet valve so you lessen the chance of the dreaded crack or should I not worry about it
