Got some new 'excellent quality' HT ignition leads

Post by irishkeet »

Just a quick update on this thread https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=58008

Leads arrived today and they are excellent quality. they are a very good fit and hard to pull off once on the dizzy & coil.

Below are some photos, they are double the price of GSF leads but worth it IIMO.

a nice touch with the lead number on each end of the lead

I bought these from http://www.performanceleads.co.uk they are hand made to order.

I spoke to a nice chap called David who is happy for anyone to call him, he is a T25 owner himself :mrgreen:

hope this is of help to someone, Ill do an update once I've driven for a while.

You still have to replace these don't you? They are not those ultra special magnetic thingys that I think I have heard of that never need replacing....

Although can't be sure if I have just made that up - didn't pay much attention!!

no they will need replacing but im told they should go for a good 60,000 miles
also they do a lot of leads for LPG vehicles and I was told the will be a good plus to my petrol/LPG set up

But there are no dirty gert rubber grommets to seal the leads to the tinware though?
All that lovely cooling air will be leaking out - not good.

What /\/\/\/\/\/\ said.
Very important that tin work is as airtight as can be so all are cools engine and not leaking out. Also engine/engine compartment seal is sealing properly so hot air coming out under engine doesn't leak back into engine compartment.
