Announcing the brilliant new Cent-r-Lok glow plug connector.

The Cent-r-Lok connector fits OS and YS plugs, locks on securely and is re-wireable - all without tools.

Suits deep plug wells too!

All our Glowswitches are now supplied with a START-UP BOOST connection. Just plug in the "Hidden Helper" boost switch (available separately) and fit it under the engine cowling then, when you bring an operating magnet close, the boost operates to provide maximum glow for starting. (Doesn't have to be our magnetic switch, you can fit a conventional switch if you prefer).
