I found this one here on Peachparts. $95.63 with the 18 X 1.5mm thread.

BAU 917-0053... GLOW PLUG REAMER...Loop style glow plugs use this LARGE PORT-18x1.25mm threaded reamer for removing heavy carbon deposit from glow plug hole which is a major cause of glow plug failure. For models from 1967 to 1985. Non Turbo. OM615,

You could probably make one like his one, I know this is the small pencil GP, but the large one could be modifyied, there is the large plugs with the up grade to penci. maybe one of those could be modifyied better.

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
