   Yep, I got mine from Summit. I remembered someone else on the list
saying they got theirs from summit, so I just bit the bullet and got
it, hoping it would fit. It did. The only thing I don't like about
it is that it has half the thread of the stock plug. I'd feel better
if there was more thread, but it hasn't fallen out yet. :-)

   I haven't changed my oil yet since I installed the plug (about
1-2K miles left to go) so I don't know if it has trapped any
metal. It'll be interesting to find out.
