    Bosch X270P21 RSR spark plugs

    Looking for a NOS set of 12.

    An old thread here includes photos of them:

    It’s time to move on, those are obsolete and were replaced by XR2CS (silver) and those are now not available. I moved on to NGK DR9EIX, their 12mm plug. 9’s are pretty cold about the same as the old 270.

    Ah thanks for that. My engine builder said exactly the same thing, plus they foul up quickly when not racing. He suggested NGK too!

    If not only racing use, I would recommend NGK 8 grade, plus if you're located in a rainy/cold country

    ...which I am! But wish I was in San Diego...

    I think I'll leave this detail to my man actually (too much time spent pouring over Info for Sports Purposes & Competition Spare Parts List! )

    Ah cool, I’ll send you a PM, even though I am going to use NGK 8’s - I like to collect all the period-correct parts even if I don’t actually use them.

    Yes, I believe they are (or will be). I have sent you a PM.

    I was with Russell Edmonds today and he agreed that it's definitely worth stillhaving the original plugs and other parts which may have been superceded by later parts.
