Core Plug Set - B2 five pot

[BigT80]

Hello. Doubt if there is much call for these, but 'my' - well I was supposed to pick it up today - '83 80CD blew a core plug out during this last cold spell.
Does anyone know if you can get a set of these, or will a universal set do the job? At least the block does not seem to be cracked & it's the one by the starter motor, so can be got at fairly easily. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I can get these from my local supplier.
Apparently theyre all the same size, they got me the ones for Ralf and for the 1B, not very much , couple of quid iirc.

OK, thanks for the info: sounds like a part that's easy to get & cheap for a change - I'll have a ring around tomorrow. Cheers.

Hello 4V6. Putting up my posting on the new purchase reminded me that I did not say thanks for picking up a couple of core plugs, but as you can tell I did manage to get one from local supplier as you suggested I might. 89p +VAT. If only the fitting time was in proportion to the cost Cheers for your help.

No worries matey, theyre a bit of a pain to change if the engines in situ, consolation is theyre nice and cheap.

Have fun there.
