Slight modification to ASH's Ignition coil fix

<< < (4/9) > >>

MrDavo:
The HT leads on my 1969 CL450 are rock hard, and the rubber seals around the plug caps fell apart when I touched them.

Rest assured that having read this thread, before I even think about looking for a new coil pack I will be cutting into the old one with a view to replacing just the leads, once bitten twice shy and all that.

Erny:
Re-opening this topic.
Found I better replace HT leads on my stock coils, using above mentioned method ;)

Can somebody recommend proven supplier of HT leads? (please recomment exact type i should look for)

paul G:
I have used these quite a few times.

Mine have been the 7mm ones ensure you get the copper core type not the Graphite type.

Can't remember the 7mm stuff I used originally but Trigger and Julie bought some last year, so they will definitely know. Needs to be tinned copper multistrand conductor ideally.

There is also a slight modification on here somewhere which shows you that you do not have to grind/file down the whole of the raised section where the HT lead is encapsulated.
I did it by coming in around 20mm and then grind/file down about 15/20mm section and you can then cut the HT lead pull the old one out and slide the new one in and solder together.
When cutting the old one don't forget to leave enough to solder back onto  ;). Makes it easier to waterproof and recreate the domed section.
