Where to get HT leads.

Post by plank22 »

Im im need of some HT leads to go onto my recently fitted ford coil packs. I see that the "V8kid" has the same setup but I do have a set of nice new castle racing leads that I would like to use so is it possible to crimp new ford ends onto my castle leads?? http://www.v8forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5823

Some people convert the ends of their exisiting leads using second hand ford leads- see the bottom of the page here:

but a lot of people in the LR community have recommended fastlaneauto, who will apparently make a good quality set of custom leads with the ends you need, to the lengths you specify for around £40-50

I am planning on going to them for my leads when i get paid on the 25th...

I had fastlane make my leads up years ago, maybe they owe me some commission!
Here's the set they made up for me:

Reusing the plugs is pretty straightforward to - nip down your local scrappie and score a spare coil pack and make sure you snip the leads off as well.
