Magnecor HT leads

[WM-S12]

right i've had a set of Magnecor HT leads for a while now, blue performance ones. The other week I got a call from a representive from Magnecor asking me about my s12 and the HT leads if they do fit properly, guy sounded like an aussie but he was saying someone else they sold S12 ht leads to has informed them they don't fit?

was told they've only made a few but only reason I can think of is if the guy's swapped the engine, or the distrubitor is in a different place...ie...different country different engine model. Set I got fit perfectly in an L shape and use the original plastic hooks



no idea but surely the ca18det would need longer ones as the engines that bit bigger. Not sure, just a random thought.

Mine were the bigger core ones and they were a bit tight to fit, but fitted ok.

Some of those leads look too short Dave (to clip in the normal places anyway)

I bought a 8mm lead set for a V8 which was only about £25, enough to do 2 cars too. You have to make up them up to length but it's damn cheaper than Magnecor.

wasn't that expensive, plus I bought them along side a new set of spark plugs. Got them both on the same day and simply installed them straight away without a fuss.

aye the 8mm red ones were classed as "Race/road" If I'm correct, mine are 7mm performance range.

Yeah, those 7mm blue leads fit alot better. Mine are a bit messy but they work, so I'm happy

I get a good deal through my motor factors and I was feeling flush that day

you need to seperate the intercooler from the rad mate.

[lmrdave]

I would if there was room! Thanks for pointing out my muppetry!

Best I can do is isolate them with a strip of neoprene, intercooler can't go any further forward and rad can't go any further back!

so nice

lol, cheers bud. It could do with tidying up but it's purely just comestic at the moment. Soom to be filled with an intercooler so that should cut the space in the engine bay down.
