Default Alternative HT Leads

I am pretty sure one of you told me that you had bought some high quality leads that were stated as being for a different car than the silvia and they fitted perfectly.

i ask as some more common cars have decent leads available on ebay for not that much £ compared.

Im after a new set obviously.....

Just get a set for a V8 and make them up. Mallory or MSD leads will be more than adequate

Hi Jon,
That`s exactly what I did. I bought the lengths and ends separately and made them up myself. Wasn`t cheap though for the silicone leads .
Regards,
Ian.

Well mallory leads are £30 for a set of 8 leads, and one coil to dizzy lead.

You could make up 2 sets for the ET if you butcher an old lead for the clips.

That sounds pretty reasonable. I think I paid about £40 for mine. The company wanted an extra £30 just to make them up for me, so I did it myself .
Regards,
Ian.

Aye I know. Took me 5 minutes to make them up.
The silicone leads did a superb job, I`ve had them on the car since I first bought it and they are still in perfect condition. But they are a pain if you need to take them off, as the lead pulls away from the fittings very easily.
Regards,
Ian.
