Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blaxland Chapman motor parts sparkplugs
Hi fellow boaties, I do not know if this is the right place to request some assistance.
I have just finished restoring my Blaxland Rae Pup engine. It is to the starting phase but I need a new spark plug. The original was a Vesta VH21K. I know that there is a company still building the Blaxland motors in Powers Road Seven Hills NSW, But I cannot find the name of the company. Can anyone help as to where I can get a new plug or the name of the company (HEEEEEEEEEELP)
Cheers Arthur,

Blaxland spark plug
Arthur, my understanding is that these plugs are a vintage car plug, like T Ford, etc,. which would make them reasonably available. The thread I believe is a waterpipe thread. As for heat ranges, I dont know but I suspect they may be close.
I have run one of these engines quite a bit.
Somebody else may offer better info.
Cheers Adrian

Blaxland spark plugs
Hi folks. Just a bit of information that may be of help to others. I was looking for spark plugs for my blaxland and found that they are available from Rally Badges in Victoria. Apparently the same plugs fit the old T model ford. Thanks to Adrian and Boatmik for their info.
Cheers Arthur.

Thanks Mick, I ordered the plugs today from Greg at Rally Badges. I don't know why I didn't try Greg in the first place (I must have been having a seniors moment).
Cheers Arthur
