R=resistor type plug. Some have had luck and run them anyway, however I think most of us run the proper non-resistor plugs.

You are correct the OEM Bosch non-resistor plugs are not made anymore.

However, the NGK's I've listed are suitable and every bit as good.
There are also some Champions that are a heat number above/below the spec in the manual that are still available.
