Magnecor lead sets - suppliers?

[paddy]

I need to replace my HT leads and was thinking of getting the Magnecor 7mm Electrosports for the black "historic" look rather than the luminous blue.

I know I can get a custom set made up by Magnecor but I was wondering if people know a supplier who has sets made up already.

I have an Aldon distributor with DIN-type connectors - not the cap with the screw retainers which is what Magnecor seem to offer as standard for twincam applications.

My current leads are routed over the top of the cam cover (not around the back), so I'm after something like:

plug leads - 24"
coil lead - 10"

In my case the insulation on the coil lead had completely worn away from rubbing on the wall of the engine bay so I thought it was about time

If you do not have a Crypton/Sun scope then have a look in the dark at the leads with the engine running even better if air is damp you can see blue flashes if the isulation is breaking down.

I bought a complete electronic ignition set with black Magnecor leads for my Elan from Tno Thompson a few months ago. Try them.

They arrived from QED and fit perfectly, with the exception of the coil lead which is about twice as long as it needed to be. My coil is sited on the inner wheelarch just in front of, and slightly below, the master cylinders, so it is really only a few inches from the distributor. (Is this correct?) Anyway, the lead is now trimmed and re-crimped and works just fine.

Thanks again for the advice.
