Default Spark plugs and Headers clearance problem.

I have AFR straight plug heads, TPIS headers and Accel short 0414S plugs. The #6 plug boot touches the header tube. Anyone know where to get this spark plug offset extender thingy. I saw it in a magazine a few months back but can’t find the magazine. All I found on the web was the patent.

I have no idea where to get those, but mine does the same thing. I used those cool sock things for the wires so it wouldnt burn them.

Mine rub on #6 and #7, I use plug boot socks and it has never caused an issue since I started using them.
