Vintage spark plug - USB memory stick /jump drive

Project by YorkshireStewart posted 134 days ago 586 views 1 time favorited 18 comments Add to Favorites Watch

One of my passions is old motor cycles & amongst other kelterment I have a small collection of early sparking plugs. These are my attempts at reproducing such plugs and giving them an up-to-date use. The photographs show three slightly different versions of an oak plug with a USB jump drive / flash drive / memory key / memory stick / memory pen or whatever else they might be called.

Oh yes they work Andy, even after being dismantled with a craft knife, glued into a chunk of wood and spun on the lathe at great speed. Here are some more similar efforts.

Stuart, great project but just one question. How do you set the gap on a thumb drive?

Isn’t there a handy ‘rule of thumb’ for setting the gap?

I’ll add ‘thumb drive’ to the list; hadn’t come across that one here in back-of-beyond Yorkshire!
