WTB: Short spark plug socket (SLP, summit, etc.)

Getting ready to do the plugs so I can run my TR6's for nitrous and basically was wondering if anyone had this lying around I'll pay you 30$ for it.

Reason I am not buying it from SLP is they want 40$ for shipping a 30$ part to Canada...

Thanks in advance.

I just cut one down with a cutoff wheel. Works great.

I've been reading the forums though and it seems like a huge PITA... Driver's side looks straightforward but passenger side not so much...

I use my shorty spark plug socket along with a flex head 3/4
ratcheting wrench (I believe that is the size), and that really helps speed things up.

once you drop the starter on down, the back two are cake and the front two you can get right there to them from the top.. ive got pretty decent sized hands too..

On my mac mids I used a normal plug socket but now with the hooker long tubes I can't get a normal one to fit.
