Bosch spark plug wires for 4kq

[LL - NY]

I'd have to agree totally with John, Huw, Cobram, et, al.

One, don't need the nipples,

Two, go Beru. I was replacing wires every two years with the Bosch sets on
both the 4000Q and my 200Q (once due to lack of list knowledge, second
due to lack of Beru availibility when I just "needed" them. Beru went much
longer. Heck I still have a set of nearly new looking, but miss-firing Bosch
wires in my basement storage. Want 'em?


LL - NY - gone wireless....
