Hi All,

I'm in the process of redoing the ignition system on my lovely '96 Chim 400 (my first ever, and I love it!) and I've got round to doing the ignition leads.

The car has already got high quality blue 10mm HT leads on (magnecors I think) but there are only 7 of them...one of them is red!! I am a big fan of uniformity and completeness and at the moment it just doesn't look right with that rogue red lead and therefore I would like an individual lead without the expense of getting an entire replacement set, as the ones on the car seem to be perfectly functional.

My question for y'all is does anyone know of an individual, shop, trader or otherwise that may sell individual leads out of a parts bin or something?

I appreciate this is a long shot, as they only typically come in sets but you don't know unless you ask!

Many thanks!

Several suppliers on ebay sell leads singly by length. Cost me £3 for one. I had 1 fail, i.e. open cct so I just got one.

You just know whatever you get won't match 100%, buy a full set wink

Personally id throw all the Magnecors away, and put a good quality set of standard plug leads. There are good reasons not to use Magnecors- but unfortunately the TVR / V8 world has been convinced into thinking you can get something extra by paying £90 for a set of leads over decent OEM leads, that is simply not true.
