Have you found a way to re-wire them? Yeah I know I'm dreamin'. At soon to be $3.75 a plug sure would be nice. :D

If you want, I can hang up a bag at our race this weekend and ask for donations.

That would be great if you could do that. Im sure there will be plenty there. Just let me know.

As far as recoiling them, man i wish. This is why im doing this. Im trying to give the plugs a second life. They deserve it being almost 4 dollars a pop. I wonder why the companys couldnt recoil them? If they recycled the body wouldnt it cut costs just a little?

Thanks guys,

Alden
 
At the price of platinum quoted on the glow plug post it might even be worht pulling the remainder of the platinum elements out and saving them to recycle. I know some are saving the gold pins from old PC's and turning them in for CASH.

That's my guess too. :)

Beats throwing them out.

By the time I'm finished with them, there is no Platinum! :lol:
 
The way glow plugs are made its not possible to re-wire them, The center electrode is "crimped" into the base, to remove the center electrode you would have to destroy the plug.

i know,, its insane,,,, but a majority of plugs that get burned up,, dont have much coil left,, if any like stated above.... plus i beleive it would take hundreds if not thousands of plugs to pile up enough to make it worth while....
