HT Leads

Post by AllenTheHat »

Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations on new HT leads. Last year I got some from just Kampers and apart from them being 'almost' too short (a couple are very tightly stretched), I did not find them to be of any great quality.

Any thoughts?

BW do Beru, I think from memory these are what GSF do as well, but double check that,

Does anything JK sell actually fit?

Every time I see their name there seems to be an 'only just' or 'not quite' or 'needs fettling' portion in the post....

I decided to go for a set from GSF. I hope they are substantially better quality than the JK ones.

Eurocarparts ones are way to short. Had to take them back.

The GSF ones I ordered are actually Beru and seem very good quality compared to the JK ones.

You won't go wrong with Brickwerks ones, and they are mostly Beru from memory - but check the webshop - I have a feeling they make up the air-cooled ones to order! The Beru ones I have fitted to by 2.1 DJ cured a misfire straight away.
