Hi

I want to get a set of silicon plug leads but the standard length sets are not long enough to route them the way I would like. Can anyone advise a good place to purchase (probably have to get them made to order)? Also I want to get them in black which seem a difficult colour to find. anyone done this? Any photo's for me to see?

Thanks a lot

Martin

These guys made my leads up:

I got moroso spiral core leads in black, u cut them 2 length and fit ends, fink i got em from real steel, they were about 65 quid from memory.

Made mine from Moroso too, also from RS

i did mine from mallory pro wires,
sold by v8 tuner,

Those guys made me a 10mm set for my v8 with ford coil packs for £65+vat.

Gav wont you get cross firing between plugs running your leads like that?

Err, I haven't done so far. These aren't 4mm corner shop made in kazakstan jobbies you know! I've put alot of my leads together like that and never had a problem.

show that set up to Trev at nozwizard and he will tell you not to run nitrous,
due to what marki said regarding cross fire.

I guess the risk of a spark during an induction stroke - scary..

Do they come "unmade" as standard? Not quite clear in the RS catalogue. That would be ideal. It sort of suggests that one end is all ready on?

Thanks

Martin, yep, I got a box of leads terminals and boots, and chose what was best, cut leads to length etc etc. Needs a decent crimper.

Actually, I can't remember if the plug end was already on or not, come to think of it. I did fit different plug ends on a couple because of space & angles etc. If the plug ends were already done, my ones were long straight boots. I fitted angled boots on a couple.
