Got a gas heater

What strange critter these gas heaters are. Where does a person find a new
sparker for them? Mine is there, but it's a little loose and wanders left
and right about a few millimeters.

Ah hah! Yep, this one is 'something else'. No VW part numbers, and the
patent markings are French, Canadian and USA.

Done that. No luck. Methinks this is another part for the Big Box in the
Attic. ...unless you want it. (It's a 6V thing.)

The ignition device is either a standard spark plug or standard deisel style
glow plug on most models. Take that out and see if the local parts store can
match it up. Should be able to use a standard sleeve too, but you'd have to
order that in if needed in most places

If you showed me a picture, I might be able to recognize it?
I know just about all of the ones from Europe.

I appreciate that, Jan, but I'm not terribly concerned about it. It's just
more swap meet fare.
