750k5 coils
« on: April 27, 2017, 10:13:19 AM »
Hi all,
As you may or may not know I am restoring a USA import K5.
I want to replace the coils as the leads are really hard and not flexible at all.
Apart from D.S. (who is out of stock), where can I get a new set from please.
I dont need OEM but a decent pattern set that will do the job will suffice, as long as they look similar to the originals and are reliable.
Ive seen a few on fleabay but they look nothing like the originals or i could get the dyno ones but they are green.
A little help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A cheaper option would be to change the leads and keep the stock coils. Ashimoto did a really good and detailed step by step "how to" with photos on here, hopefully he will see your post and give you the link, or you can use the search box to hunt it down for yourself! ;D
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!
