Stratus with Viperhead Glow Plug Issue

[Aviation addict]

Guys,

I've just completed my Stratus build and have come to put the glow plugs into the dual glow Viperhead and am struggling badly with the angled one i.e. I can't get it in.

I'd read that it can be a bit tight and had bought a 1/4" universal joint for my socket set, but its far to bulky and will not do the job no matter which angle I approach things.

What's the answer please, - a slimmed down version of the universal joint adapter that I've bought or can you get a flexible drive with socket in there? Anyone got a link to the right tool?

I'm using i piece of fuel tubing slipped over the plug for the first turns,
then I use a flex-head wrench to tight it.

Like this one:

Thank you very much Christoffer. I need one of these tools badly. Are you sliding the tool up from underneath through the base plate rather than through the A Frame? Cheers.

Yes, a flexhead wrench cant be hard to get in uk,

Thanks Christoffer - Actually arranged to borrow the local Snap-on rep's personal flexhead 8mm wrench until he can order me one. What a result. Thanks again for your help!
