Do you know where on the glow plug the vise was clamped? I am collecting used 606 glow plugs (two so far) and plan a similar test when I get a few more.

Jeremy - I believe they were held on the barrel of the GP and twisted apart at the threaded area.

I saved the tread. I'll send it to you this evening.

Get 2 nuts that have the same threads as the Glow plugs and see if you can Jam Nut them together on on the Glow Plug. Tighten the vice on the nut closest to the 12mm hex end of the Glow Plug.

I'd like to see the same done with Bosch plugs. The nut area is about 50% smaller than that on a Beru plug.
