Question HT Lead tidying....

Hi...

Just wondering where to get some nice clips to carry each set of 4 HT leads either side of my Rover V8 to make it look neater...

...seemed simple until I started asking around for clips, and no one seems to have a clue where to get them!


Cheers, Chris

Real Steel will do something, if you Google for them you can get their number. They are open until 1pm on Saturdays.

Speak to Brian down at Repower/ Roadcraft they do some really nice billet type bits that clamp the leads and they do them in different colours as well.
Heres a link

I maybe being a bit paranoid but I would not use clamps made of any sort of metal as it could lead to a nasty cross cylinder misfire.

(The metal does not have to be ferrous for this to happen!)

Chris,

I got these to tart up my engine bay a bit. I think they are Mr Gasket items and you can get them from Real Steel. I had to file the tabs that connect to the rocker boxes as they were too wide to start with.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Marty
