Could I heck find a cheap one anywhere!!
So... With the help of this old girl  Click image to enlarge And a nice strong magnet http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130650108149?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT Out came this Click image to enlarge Araldited it into the plug, let set a day, and tested on a 5KG weight to see if it budges, and is doesnt. Works a treat. Sadly looking forwards to my next oil change !! Ha Ha Word of caution though. Be careful, and read up on machining rare earth magnets. They are nasty things to turn down. As I found out (and then carried out some online research!!) Andy |

I like this, let's hope the magnet doesn't snap off though

Here is a link to the plugs I use throughout my engine and drivetrain. You will find a video on the website/youtube of the magnets holding 15kg  |

Me too!!! Shouldn't though, Araldite is pretty good stuff, and when I machined it, I made sure there was enough gap between the magnet and the plug to fill with a thin layer of the stuff. I'll be the first to eat my words though!!!! |
