The old HT lead wasn't secure in the coil housing, it was literally held by the end of the cable. Once the cable was cut it easily pulled out.
The new cable is 7mm and its a perfect fit in the hole. I suppose water could possibly get in but a tiny bit of silicone sealant would stop it.

Interesting I thought they were sealed.
You would think the damp would get too them.

Some of them , particularly the Honda twins, ones have epoxy smeared around the exit of the HT cable. Best to try to wipe any plasticiser etc off the inserted bit and slightly abrade to get a bond.
BTW if you tried that method with the Honda twins ones you would need to identify the wooden (yes wood!) dowel that anchors the cable and drill it out, then it would work OK. The twins are not soldered they just push into a pin inside the coil but can be soldered on repair.

When I eventually do mine I will seal them up as I don't shy away from the rain and it drives me crackers when they start coughing & farting.
Saying that the mega cheap coils I bought on eBay are holding up well I noticed there completely sealed with some sort of epoxy.

If you get mega cheap ones make sure primary is around 4 to 5 Ohms minimum otherwise on standard points, the points won't last too long.
