I have always used a 22mm ring spanner on my plugs. No chance of breaking the insulator.

I will second that David the ring end of a 22mm combination spanner does the trick.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.

D21's run very well in Austin sevens with ethanol fuel. 
Saves your magneto from failure.

I’ll second what Nick has said I’m on D21s and the old box is whizzing along nicely, regardless of what fuel goes in it!

Accuspark have just confirmed that their AA77C. Is the equivalent of Champion D16 and NGK AB-6..
They call it their 18mm short plug.
I did get another message through eBay advising me to fit them and then turn the engine by hand to convince myself that nothing will spoil my day.

Thanks to all for your advice.
