Sparking Plug Gap Setting Gauge on 4 1/4 litre Bentley. With reference to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}5/WH.25.2.36, we have looked into the question of the gap gauge for the K.L.G. Type 850 Sparking Plug, and we agree that the existing gap gauge is unsuitable, but we wish to point out that the plug gaps can be set quite easily on the 850 sparking plug using the ordinary feelers supplied with the tool kit providing there is a suitable feeler .018 - .020".
