350i HT leads

[KKson]

All, just a quick one but does a standard Range Rover classic V8 HT lead set fit our Wedges or is the coil to dizzi lead a different length? I fancy a bit of colour under the bonnet rather than the old black leads. Thanks.

Keith,

I've made my own, ordered parts from;

You can re-use the rubber isolators (if in good shape), order the terminals and leads (in any colour you like.........)

In all its a lot cheaper, plus you can make all to lenght !

If you required help in building them, pm me

Frank many thanks. I'll have a look into this and order up the parts. What spec cable did you use?

Hi Keith,

I used the yellow 8mm Motaquip cable, they are in for 3 years now, w/o any probs !

Alltho, apparently they are out of stock at the mo....

Yes you can also use a standard RR set and yes the king lead is too short. But you can usually make one up by re-crimping the ends onto a longer cable.

Accuspark made me a bespoke king lead for about £5 delivered (UK).

Hi Keith, I know it's a bit more money, but I'd go for Magnecor, best for performance and nice red colour for the 8mm ones.

[adam quantrill]

Magnecor can fail just as quick as resistive ones, and I don't see any technical advantage to them.

Gents, thanks for the posts. The current leads are 8mm silicon and seem to work fine. They are just looking very old, black and tired so a new shiny red replacement set is what I'll go for.
