I finally got a chance to make the glow plug adapters that will let me use standard 240/300D Bosch pencil glow plugs in place of the loop plugs.

I was corresponding with another member and he suggested that I start a thread and post some pictures of them. I was not going to, but these things work so well that I thought what the hell, if someone else has the capability they might get some inspiration.

I made the adapters instead of buying the special pencil plugs because I like use standard parts that I can get anywhere, any time. Plus I did not like how the special plugs did not take up as much volume as the loop plugs do.

I designed the adapter to hold the heating element back a bit, (not sticking in as far as the loop did), to help keep the element from interfering with the swirl. The car starts amazing now and I have noticed that around town the EGTs are about 50*F cooler. It also seems to smoke less and pull a little stronger.

All in all a very worth while project.
