If you stuffed the thread - it's have to be the head that's stuffed wouldn't it. Time for a helicoil?

To each their own
just havent been happy with non German Bosch
A couple of years ago I had a few plugs that just stopped firing.
Never had that with NGK
Had a couple Bosch 009 points that were absolute rubbish. Spring - what spring!
Mainly went electronic ignition not because of "improvement" but more that the points you buy are rubbish.
Very happy with the Beru 4 tips as well

Bosch were having their plugs made in another country,
can't remember which one
but the plugs did get a bad name because of it...
I have always run BERU....
or BOSCH...
whatever the VW shops had at the time....
plugs to suit beetles are getting harder to find at Repco etc as they don't sell many...
I find it best to buy everything from a VW shop...
200+ kms away...
cheers
Lee
PS: I may try an NGK resister plug next time...
I've been using them in My Mitsubishis for years...
