DIY Spark Plug Lead Kits

[mitsuru]

Where can I purchase a Kit for making up my own HT Leads.
As I have had to move the coil pack the old original leads will
not reach, and are in need of replacement

I know that there are kits available in the USA, but are they
available over here?

I get mine from a boat parts shop. Power boat stuff is waterproof as well (used to use it a lot on my old Minis).

Have a eBay search for...

Well the local car parts stores don't sell the bits to make your own spark
plug leads up so it's down the bay of E again.

£11.98 (inc postage) spark plug wire crimping jaws (to be used with a vise

£12.71 (inc postage from Fort Wayne, IN., United States) 8 Cylinder 7 MM
Spark Plug Wire Boot Kit (black)

I'll measure up for the wire tomorrow.

Alternatively try Magnecor custom sets, no more expensive than an off the shelf kit and in my experience a heck of a lot less faffing about.

I got all the parts to make a set of plug leads from somewhere online, can't remember now tbh but it might be in the Clio build thread. Spent ages doing them all, and making them again when I pulled the cables out of the terminals before giving Magnecor a ring and putting an order in. I've had absolutely no issues with the custom leads and the quality of the parts used is far superior. For reference I've just had another one made after moving the coil pack that is 29 inches long, Ford clip type coil pack at one end and straight boot at the other, go faster blue wiring and its come in at about 13 quid plus postage. The guy there is called Phil and I really can't recommend them enough.
