well try 0.7mm and if it runs ok with no misfire then there should be no need to worry.

0.8mm as standard. That's how mine are run on 25psi. Might be worth changing the heat range of the plugs though.

What plugs do you run?
Will set at 0.8mm I reckon
Running these NGK's (were only 12 quid) Put them in, as thats what come out... SCS rebuild, He supplied plugs
Hope they are OK, just seem cheap.. and cheap is not always good

thats still not cheap for a set of plugs :P most cars are about 30p each
your normal bosch type jobbies should be fine, nout wrong with them!

Mine are Champion C57 C's I think. Would have to check with Rob though as I can't 100% be sure.
