Factory Spark Plug for 1957 356A T1
I am trying to find an original plug plus box for my original tool kit. What part number were they and are they still available? Anyone have one they would like to sell in decent condition?
Appreciate any feedback

Greg, do you have the drivers' manual for your car? It should list the part number for the spark plug. There is a seller on The Samba, Frederik, that sells a lot of electric parts like fuses, points and plugs. Maybe he would have what you need.

Probably Bosch W225T1 if a Normal or W240T1 if a Super. Black metal body, smooth insulator (no ribs). Are you looking for a useable plug or just one for show in the tool kit?

Agree with Alan above.
The tool kit plugs did not come in a box, based on original kits I've seen.
And the plugs are date coded by year, like everything Bosch. 1957 would be "N".

I just found the W225T1's on The Samba. As I previously commented, from Frederik in Sweden.

Thank you Mike. Forgot about my Drivers Manual! The 1600 engine takes a Bosch 225 T 1. Thank you for the tip on Samba. I'll contact FrederikMike Wilson wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 6:18 pm Greg, do you have the drivers' manual for your car? It should list the part number for the spark plug.

You are right on the money Alan with the 2 versions. I have a 1962 Super 90 in my car right now however my original engine was a 1600 normal. For the purposes of displaying the correct plug in my Tool bag I am looking for a Bosch W 225 T1

Confirming what's already been said. (Probably not 97 cents anymore...)
