And, Magnum engines are in the store. Looks like some of the Hobby People stuff is back...plus McDaniels ignitors and such.

The Thunderbolt glowplugs were made by Ohlsson Corporation, the remains of O&R (Ohlsson & Rice). The dealer is in Victorville, California. I think this is all great news, and wish them well!   y1 Steve

Well, I just ordered several of both types.  I'll let you know!

I suspect they're the same as before but with a less expensive "Middle man"!

      I also noticed that the plugs had no idle bar and sent them a message. Their replay is:
