These should be at the auot parts supplier and do make these adjustable (bendable)versions too.

Thanks AVB :), I'll check it out, though I think the insert hole in the boot might be too small.. it's about 2-3mm opening.. ill check it out anyways smile

I'm not following smirk .. you used a self tapping screw? slipped the boot over the spark plug and self tapped to make contact ?

As far as i'm aware, yup I believe it's the stock wire.. though I think this boot/wire came from a VICTA VC160 mower.
