Title: Plug leads
Post by: AndyH on September 03, 2017, 10:45:20 AM
The plug leads on my 500K1 are way too long!  Are there any dramas in shortening them so they go basically directl between plug and coil?

No drama, just need a good pair of cutters, but leave yourself a couple of inches of slack, in case the caps need replacing in years to come, always handy to be able to cut 1/2 an inch off before fitting new caps.

The cap end is most easy and convenient.

Really? What coils then?

Dyna coils I think.
And if that's you Delta you need to be more subtle on the US site. (give them time)

Yes, Dyna 5 ohm coils, and I don't wish for this thread to degenerate the same way as the US one.  Along with Hairygit above, Jonda500 and others on the US thread have provided the best response for me, so we'll leave it at that.
