These people do everything you need.

www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk

May turn out to be the most expensive set of HT leads in history though!

Re: HT lead crimping tool

You really dont need them, a pair of plyers works jus fine. Work your way around and then a final squueze at the gap.

Re: HT lead crimping tool

I have purchased both leads and the criming tools from Real Steel which have made into a nice lead set.:thumb:

Hope this may help.

Re: HT lead crimping tool

As Mike says you can get away with a pair of pliers, but the proper tool is far easier and makes a far better job. I had an intermittent misfire which was caused by a poor crimp. Bought the proper crimping tool and hey-presto no more problems!

Re: HT lead crimping tool

I was even luckier !
Went round my local garage -
Said - "by the way dont know where I can get a Proper crimping tool ?
The nice man gave me his boxed set of ends and crimping tool !!

He said - keep it I dont use it any more !!

Thats the joy of small local garages !!
