A normal socket wont work.. Im installing NGK BR8EIX spark plugs and they wont fit in the rotor housing because of some raised bosses.. I did a bunch of searching last night..

Racing beat has theres for $77
Mazdatrix wants close to $100
And atkins rotary wants $35 thats the best seal I could find.

Just be easy on a thin wall socket. They crack so easily (I've broken a few).

seems like you already know where to buy one?

RE-TurboFB 03-28-11 03:52 PM
yeah that was after I had searched for awhile.. I thought one of toy guys might know somthing that i didnt.. The BR8EIX are shorter then the stock plugs so you have to have a socket that can go "inside" the housing to torqe them down..

Thanks for the help guys..

I bought one from atkins.. Oh yeah I was wrong about the price it was $45.
