Engine Doctor Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I have Just been browsing on couple of well known online auction site and noticed lots of adds for "OS" glow plugs and many are obviously fakes . All of the pictures show the markings on the plugs as etched or lasered on with a dull appearance whereas the markings should be stamped and shiny . and the fakes are not that much cheaper !

Andy Stephenson Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I've noticed some respected retailers are showing pictures of OS No8 packaging in which you can clearly see they're fake, It's not always possible to see the marking on the actual plug if it is at the back of the packet but the picture below shows what to look for. Whether this means they are selling fake copies of these glow-plugs or they have just picked up the wrong library picture from the web and used on their site, who knows. These plugs have been shown to last only for one flight, if that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
