DS came back and said these two are genuine NGK and obviously one has the NGK painted white

That figures indeed Bryan, I made contact with the sellers and they told me they will send it with the Post office.

It seems to be threaded without the plate. Whatever, tomorrow it goes into workshop to have a new oil pump seal ( missing from the seal kit I got for the rebuild I had) I'll persuade the mechanic to get me sorted.  ;)

Thanks, this explains why I cant find genuine angles ones without the NGK painted white, I have emailed DS!

Similar but slightly different markings with SBF05-R

This will make you smile my angled ones I have just noticed are marked SBF05 not only is there no "R" but the NGK branding is also painted white wtf?

The straight caps have a pair of slots moulded in - presumably to fit a tool for pulling off the caps - my angled ones do not but being angled easier to remove without pulling on the HT lead.

Might be I have two genuine & two aftermarket - a Guru here will know! ;D ;D ;D

Yes those Brown ones look really shiney compared to mine that are a slightly duller finsh as well as a different shade of brown - might be NGK make different quality caps for different markets.

As Bryan fitted mine I suspect they are the real McCoy.PXL_20240415_145642823 by Macabe Thiele, on Flickr

Funny you say that, as I took a screen shot of the below from David Silver last year, says aftermarket, but marked NGK, and they were red, now I can't find the red ones, only black on their website;

My 400 came with new looking brown coloured NGK resistor type caps already fitted - they are substantial with the NGK moulded into the cap in brown. Two straight, two angled.

Those black ones look fake to me as the branding does not look right somehow - see how different they are to the DS ones in their photo. They look more like car ones with the cheap white paint on the logo.

The genuine NGK ones are quite expensive iirc.

If you look at the DS ones although in Black the NGK markings are like mine cast into the moulding.
