CIMG2334.JPG
This is how i made my -sort of- remote controllable spudgun ignition

list of stuff to buy before you start on this project with a high awesomeness level:
piezo bbq-lighter
spark plug
wire
steel wire

tools: a wire stripper
          tape ( yes , tape is a tool)
          hands ( don't lose 'em , they might just come in handy)

Drilling

this is the part where you take out your drill , attach a drill bit the size of the threaded part of the spark plug.
Drill a hole in a strong , robust part of the combustion chamber

Wiring the Piezo Ignitor

Take the thing apart , but be careful not to damage the internal components.
you will see 2 wires , extend them by attaching a longer wire , and secure with electrical tape.
make sure everything is sturdy and tape it all up
(see picture)

then , tape one wire to the small pin at the end of the sparkplug , and one wire to the o-ring around the threaded part

Insert the Spark Plug and Secure

twist the wired sparkplug into it's place.
then take steel wire , turn it around the sparkplug , then turn it around the whole gun and twist the wire , so that it's stuck , once again , look at the picture

Testing
