Secondary plug HT leads

[Deleted account 200123001]

It seems after 83K that the secondary plug ht leads are past their best.

A quick check pulling the leads while running has shown that the O/S is gone as there is no change in engine speed.
The n/s slows but gave me quite a shock so although working is shorting.

Hunting round on motorworks and ebay I can only find a used ones, waiting for a call back from Williams to get some new ones but has anyone found an alternative supplier of pattern or improved units?

You can make your own. Buy some NGK plug caps, HT lead and end fittings from any decent old school car spares shop. .

I don't suppose you have a number for the NGK caps do you, I couldn't find any that looked suitable when I looked a couple of months ago, the leads etc no problem sourcing. Just the caps

The poster was asking about the secondary plug caps on a twin spark, these are the standard NGK 90 degree caps.

The main caps are more specialised.

Thanks Steptoe, didnt think of that. For some reason I imagined they would be harder to make up than that.
