I have just had a set of Accel 2000 plug leads made up but forgot to ask for heat shrink numbers to be fitted.

Does anyone know where I can buy clip-on numbers for 8mm leads?

Have tried ebay and Google but can only find the heat shrink type.

Thanks......

I've tried various little tags, they either fall off, become illegible or are silly expensive (for what they are), so now I put small cable ties around each HT lead, cheap 'n simple.
Rather than going up to eight maybe different colours for each bank so max four per lead? Or if you're really tight only go up to three and the lead with none on is number four!

Or you could get a permanent black marker or CD pen and put black 'notches' on each lead.

Thanks for all the replies.

As said above, they are a silly price for what they are. The heatshrink at £1.14 is the way to go providing you remember to put them on before you crimp the terminals....unfortunately I didn't.

As I also want to mark the coil packs I shall use the marker pen idea.

Thanks Asaad, a better price but not sure that they would fit 8mm leads. Might email the seller.

MPO, I bought my Accel leads from Lloyds Special Developments in Warminster. They crimped on the correct coil pack terminals at the same time I had the Canems ecu fitted. They are mega expensive but look to be good quality and of course do away with the dreaded extenders.

Can really recommend Lloyds, very, very helpful. My car was one of four TVRs being fitted with Canems at the time.

This is what you need..

The MSD numbers are the best design you can get by far, they're like little collars that snap over the lead using the supplied special tapered tool.

The excellent MSD Super Conductor lead sets come with a free numbering set, or follow the above link to buy the numbering kit separately.
