Looks to be in good shape to me, or are you just tired of it???
Maybe a new box from one of your Christmas presents???

What?
That looks just like mine!
I've been 'thinking' about making one from wood with holes drilled in it.
Maybe add a handle made of flat stock.
Those pre-made Aircraft Spark Plug Holders are sooo Passe.

How we did it
One of your Sqdn members had a brain flash and drilled the correct number of holes (14) in a worn out 500-5 tire & used a marking pen to write the numbers. Piece o cake, and it will never wear out. Should be enough space to drill 8 holes & mark 'em top & bottom for any 4 cyl users, or 12 for the 540 folks.
You might ask why we need 14 holes? That will hold either the front or back plugs in the 1700HP R-2600s on the B25....
Carry on!

Suffering a little "sticker shock" here. I have been using a plug tray from Champion for many years. Too many holes, but hey, I used to own a 182 and a Baron. Glad I looked at today's price before suggesting anything... $52.29 (plus shipping, of course.) A little time with a piece of scrap and a drill press looks like a real good plan!

Wooden Spark Plug Holder
Turbo, here's my spark plug holder that has served me well for over 12 years. Building our RV-6A for nearly five years gave me the confidence to take on this project as I had no previous woodworking skills...probably should have did a better job countersinking Rosie

Spark Plug Holder
Turbo, I just made one of these (EAA Tony book/article):
http://members.eaa.org/home/homebuil...k%20Plugs.html
If you can't access it, here is small section of the drawing.
If you don't have a large enough step drill, come see me and I'll make you a spark plug holder in about 10 minutes. You will have to paint it yourself though.

A friend made this for me over 10-years ago.
Loop Velcro is in he holes and it holds the spark plug perfect.
Yes it is a 2 X 4 that has been finished with varnish.

Turbo,
Buy new expensive aviation parts. Cut holes in new box it comes in. Go fly.
