If brand new estate ones are hard to source I have found a tool online which converts the longer saloon metal sleeves to the shorter estate type...

Might need two and a box of Weetabix ;D

Parts are readily available individually, although you might be obliged to buy packs of five if your dealer has no imagination  ::)

haha, I showed girlfriend and mother my pack of 5 o-rings for the plenum at the weekend.
"how many o-ring things are there per car?"
"two"
"is there one missing from the packet?"
"no"
"oh"
"I know"

How many of these o-rings (and everything else that is sold in packs of 5....sparks for the vee-six are bought in packs of ten I believe?) have been thrown in the bin over the years?

Any vendor who refused to split packs of sparkplugs wouldn't receive my business. Everywhere I've bought them price and sell them singly.

I got mind off the good Keith ABS in packs of six, but I noticed the box came as a box of ten or twelve, which was very odd. My dad had an incomplete set (three or four) of unusued GM sparks kicking around in the garage, when I took the old ones out to find two GM plugs and four, older, older Champion ones I saw why he had these GM ones 'spare'!
