For fellow hams that are thinking of making spark plug so called lightning
protectors...or static discharge units...I just homebrewed a set for my
600ohm feeders...cost of the small engine plugs were under 3 bucks for a
pair.
In my basement, I dug up a pair of auto battery terminal clamps which fit
the barrel of the plugs nicely. Even found a pair of large nuts to screw
on
the bottom of the plugs for some protection.
I also found a pair of short barrel connectors..the type that are normally
used for joining condenser and rotary ceramic switch shafts
together...they
fit the top of the plugs nicely. Will install it on the feeders in the am.

For the "do it yourselfer" the spark plug approach works for balanced
feedlines and can be done for under $10. If you wish to buy ready to
install, these are available from The Wireman for $24.95.
