Mitsubishi Glow Plug Rail.
All Of The Best From The Previous Generation

Copper Rail To Fit All 2. 5 Turbo diesels Including L200s
The Ultimate Glow Plug Rail.
No More Fiddling With Fitting
The Rail So As To Get Each Terminal Washer In The Correct Place.
We Fit This Latest Generation Rail To All
Our Mitsubishis. Mechanics MUCH Prefer Them.
This Is The History Of The Development Of The GHlow Plug Heater Rail
1st Generation Aluminium :- Soft Metal With Terminal Slots
That Widen And Break .
Poor Conductivity Compared To Other Metals. Cheap and easy to manufacture
2nd Generation Steel With Zinc Coat :- Steel Is Strong But
Rusts
So These Are Normally Coated With Zinc.
Looks Good When New But The Zinc Coat Wears
Off So Rusting Occurs.
Both Steel And Zinc Are Relatively Poor Conductors Compared
To Copper .
Attempts To Overcome This problem Was To Add An Extra Conductor Terminal
So An Extra Wire Conductor From The Rail To The relay Could Be
Added.
3rd Generation Copper :- Excellent Properties But Merely A
Copy Of The Original With All Of Its Fault
The Terminal Slots Sound good in Theory But They Also wear And Widen
And Are Still fiddly To Fit
Trying To Get The Four Washers On The Glow Plugs Correctly Fitted
All At The Same time Is tricky
4th Generation Copper With Holes For The Terminals THIS IS THE VERY LATEST DESIGN
The Choice For Mechanics. It Just Drops Into Place!
(No Fiddly Slots
That Were Designed To Ease Manufacture Not Ease Fitting)
Plus Extra Terminals to Take Any Extra cables From The Relay
Combining The Best From The Other Generations But With Added Features
