Glow plugs conversion kit loop to pencil type..

Spent the day updating my old glow plug system and I must say that the difference is quiet surprising....

I posted 2 small videos here for "after and before". Also posted some pics of the conversion.

Good work. For some reason I can't open your videos but I think that is about the best upgrade that can be done to loop plug diesels, particularly if they are driven in cold weather.

Thanks. It feels pretty good to see so much improvement after the upgrade.
