Update #2
Dear Gents
I did not ship the plugs yet. Sorry for the delay.
Everything is fine, but I realised that it could be difficult to install two of the plugs on the cylinder heads because there ist not enough space for a regular nut (13mm hex nut). This problem arised due my design change. I switched from an inner hex to an outer hex head because the manufacturer was not able to do deep hex holes (which is needed to aply a 15Nm torque). I had to make the outer hex head as big as possible. Otherwise I would have had to make the heads higher than I wanted to keep it enough strong.
So I decided to manufacture a special nut. Basically its a regular hex nut, but it's outer diameter reduced on a lathe. The nuts are on their way to me and I should receive them on Wednesday. After modifying them, I will ship you all your plugs together with such a nut.
Cheers

But this goes on my watch. I want you to be 100% satisfied with the "forum product".

Thankyou Sir. Even torque values on the socket
Now what about bolts for the oil sump bolts. The bolts around the perimeter of the sump. Any ideas on that one?

Please let me know if you have any more sets to offer.
If so, I'll take a set for my 1199.

I am slightly suprised about the interest for these plugs
All 200 pieces I've made are mounted or shipped.
If there would be a demand for another 200 pieces, I could run another batch.
They would be slightly more expensive: I misscalculated shipping costs and forgot the hex nut.
So far:
10 pcs - AaronJ
10 pcs - 998sp
10 pcs - CARBONDAVE
16 pcs - ElliotW
10 pcs - Styler
