How to repair stripped spark plug threads on the VE30DE. Applies to the VG but not as much special tooling would be needed. The VE30DE has much longer reach requirements.

Here is a way to bring back Craig Brace's old Geocities maxima mod page...

go here--> http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

Remove the http:// from the box...

Then right click/copy link location/paste, this link--> www.geocities.com/bracecraig/maxima/wiring.html

into the "Take me back box...

Then, you will see a page of calenders, just go down and click on one of the blue highlighted bubbles...this will "take you back" to his archived page...

enjoy..
