just put some nice red 10mm magnecor leads on the car, but as the leads are now bigger in diameter I`m trying to find someone who sells the push fit connector type thingies that keep the leads nice and neat in a row, sorry if this doesn`t explain it very well but I don`t know the correct technical term for these things, the original ones are fixed to the top of the rocker covers.
tried maplins but no joy.

I've seen them on e-bay in the past.I thought they were just called lead seperators/spacers?

Any chance of opening them up at tad with a screwdriver shaft...? ..they are usually only plastic and have a bit of flexability...

Not sure how much this helps but I got my 10mm reds from ACT and they came with spacers. Not sure if they'd just sell the spacers though.

I thought I saw someone on here who made some using cable ties. One placed quite slack over all 4 leads. Then 3 smaller ones running parallel to the leads to act as spacers.

I was about to say the same as 'theaxe' as mine came from Act with the clips.
Do not attempt to use the old ones tho as this will damage the leads internally.
