Spark plug sockets

I'm looking for a socket, preferably 3/8 drive, to fit the smaller 13/16" aviation spark plugs. No where seems to make one thats deep enough to fit an aviation spark plug. Anyone got any recommendations that they know fit?

Thanks guys.

The LAS one is 7/8th. The 13/16th plugs have a 14mm thread. The other issue is that some automotive spark plugs are also 13/16 so when you search for 13/16 spark plug socket, you get a million automotive sparkmplug sockets which are not deep enough for aviation plugs.

FWIW: use standard 1/2" drive deep sockets for most aircraft plugs as they are deeper than 3/8 drive deep sockets. If still doesn't work look for a motorcycle open tube style plug socket that is usually 13/16 on one side and 3/4 on the other. Good luck.
