Ignition leads

I need a full set, including coil-distributor.
I have the measurements of the original ones, but I need SAE fittings for the plug ends, and also I need to be able to remove one end so I can thread the cables through the protective tube.

Does anyone have a good place that can make some up some leads like this?

If I’d paid more attention when buying the plugs (iridium) I’d have bought some with the Audi style M4 thread.

Thanks for any input!

I just bought a set from Quattro corner. Fairly expensive but all made up with the tube. Just plug and play!

Thanks Dave-are they the type that fit spark plugs with a nipple on the end and Not just the plain thread?
How much is fairly expensive? AUTODOC do sets from £25-50 or so.
I suppose I just need a set the right length with the correct spark plug ends, then I can cut the other end off, thread them through the tube and connect my current distributor ends to that set.

Did you choose metal covers in the spark plug ends or rubber? I’ve always preferred the Audi metal ends...

Here they are. They come with the brass nipple. £85. I got the back lights at the same time. Do not ask how much. I am still recovering!
I am done with autodoc. They kept sending the wrong parts and getting them to take them back was horrendous!

Ooh. Magnacor. Have they got a part number?

I’ve been lucky with AUTODOC. Never had an issue.
I can only imagine your pain at rear lights from QC!
I thought he was joking for the cost of front lights. It’s only ever the reflectors that need resilvering. I don’t know why anyone would buy new u it’s unless their car is also new!
