I don't know what an Otto ignitor looks like but would TIG electrode 
material work?  I used it on a model engine with low tension 
coil/battery make/break ignition.  TIG electrodes are largely tungsten I 
believe.  Stands up well under heat and sparking.    The electrodes 
comes in several diameters.

Just a thought.
