ford coilpack to Mini Leads

[fikus01]

anyone got some ideas on what leads i can use for a mini with megajolt?? will the late minis leads do the job as they have a wasted spark system too??

i use the Ford Fiesta leads, from a 1990 Fiesta i think, the coilpack there is at the back of the engine so they are long enough as my coilpack is mounted to the flywheel housing.

the MPi mini leads have a differend connector at the coil

They will make you up a set to you exact requirements....very reasonable price, very good quality, and fantastic customer service..............

I have nothing to do with this company so this is not me selling them...it's just I have recently had a set made up from them and have nothing but good things to say about them........

If your coil pack is quite close to the spark plugs (in which case the stock Ford leads will be waaaaay too long) and or you want to get some leads cheaply, go to your local motor factor and buy a set of late Fiesta/Escrote/Ka 1.3 leads (about £10), cut them down to length and use something like THESE to re-terminate the ends.
You'll also need a crimping tool, but I found that Maplin's cheap crimps-and-crimper set have a lovely HT crimp loaction

There's also a place called Magnecor who will be able to help you with them too.

Try Halfords as they do an adaptor set for the coil pack to take Hotleads.I picked up a set for a tenner then removed my original dizzy connectors and fitted the ends into the adaptors.

I have the part number somewhere if you are stuck.

thanks for all your replies, i think i'll go with escort leads as im putting the spark unit quite far back in the engine bay
