OK, so a couple of things have convinced me to try auto plugs in the new IO-320 with dual P-Mags. the first is that Brad at P-Mag convinced me that the ignition is happier (and designed for) the auto plugs, and the second is the mediocre (Brad's words) aircraft plug cap that P-Mag has for their ignition harness. I don't want to worry about washers falling out every time I disconnect a plug wire!
So for those with lots of experience using auto plugs:
1) I heat that there is a BR8-ES that has a "solid" connection end (versus the one that screws on and off), and that is desirable to ensure no accidental disconnects in flight. Is there a code for getting the right version? Part number suffix, etc?
2) What kind of socket do you use for installing them. The P-Mag instructions say to install the adapter on the plug, then screw the assembly into the cylinder. I found that when I tried using my regular aircraft plug socket on the adapter, the plug was too long, and the hex on the plug didn't line up right. So what do folks use?
Paul (looking forward to using up a leftover supply of BR8-ES's from my jet ski days....)
