plug wire issue

[Phil Rose]

That, sadly, is an old, old problem often mentioned on this 
list...and  is why no one (with a 3B) should try to order the Bosch 
wires. The "specified" Bosch part #  for 3B wires is consistently not 
the correct size for the 3B. You can't fight city hall...or Bosch's 
teutonic rigidity.

There are various alternatives that people have used--I believe 
Magnecor sells a set that works in the 3B, and last time I checked 
there was a set (Beru?) available from Blau (which is the option I 
took).
