I've seen a few novel homebrew approaches to keep plug wires from loosening up, how about you? Here's one I came across today...

Real cute Doug - Wonder how long they last? Would that also be a heat sink for the plug, or make it shorter? How about just putting band clamps on the rubber sockets, or cushioned adels?

I've yet to ever see one come loose, so, why??

I landed once and had a plug wire hanging out from below the cowl. Here was my fix. I take a small zip tie and put it around the groove in the plug below the ceramic and leave it just loose enough I can get another zip tie under it. I then put the boot on and use a bigger size and go around that one in the groove and around the boot and snug it up. Takes an extra couple of minutes but I like the piece of mind.

I use the metal caps. Never had one come off. They are a bitch to pull off when you want to get them off to change plugs!
