Ottoco/DG sparkplug question...

Do I need a specific socket or sparkplug to fit these heads? The socket I have been using (with the stock heads) is too big to fit into the Ottoco head.
Now to be fair, I'm using an SAE socket (13/16 iirc) because I don't have a metric socket big enough.

So... do I simply need to get off my ass and buy the correct metric size socket? And what is it, 22mm?
Do I need a different size plug?
Or is there a special narrow wall socket?

TIA  ;)

I just use a standard 13/16 spark plug socket on mine. Same one that fits stock RD heads.

Also, I believe the Ottoco heads use a 3/4" reach plug like the original DGs. (e.g. B8ES not B8HS)

Thanks for the info. I ended up on HVC's site to see if they had any insight on the matter. Ended up buying the correct plugs, and a plug tool. Should be here in a few days.
