According to the specs, that's what I need, but... is black really black?
As said I'd like to reuse the old OEM coils. I'd like to find some of that what seems braided around the blue and B/W wire. I need it also for around a POS wire that runs to my transistor ignition module. BTW, does any of you guys remember where those two clips are supposed to sit? Curious, the 2+3 coil doesn't have them.

Are you still running your own ignition with these coils?

That transistor ignition has been on my bike for at least 20 maybe 25 years and has always worked flawlessly. I had to replace some wires a few years ago, but that's because I had used old wires that had already been stiff back then. The unit is utterly reliable, provides a short rise time of about 25 µs and a burn time of well over 2000 µs. There is nothing extra to gain by having other pricy aftermarket EI's. I choose for this one, because in those years I used to travel to far away countries and I wanted to have a back-up when needed. I can return to the old system within a few minutes if ever the module would fail. This never happened. The breakerpoints live forever and now are close to 60.000 kms. I like to make things myself when possible. The first one I assembled, was actually on my Peugeot 504 GL, that succesfully crossed the Sahara desert.

Maybe I have missed it, but are these https://www.hilltop-products.co.uk/silicone-rubber-tubing-black.html black or not? What does 'not jet black' mean?

It's great stuff but compared with the original stuff it has a slightly grey tinge to it and is not gloss black. TBH it's what I use as it's physical properties are far superior to the original rubber. Having said that the original rubber seems to survive really well. It's the PVC cover on the original HT cable which goes rock-hard.
Still waiting to hear from Trigger about the stuff he linked too which is Nylon and I fear may be too rigid..

Thanks for clearing that up, Ash. I don't like grey so I'll look further. The irony is, that I now know the English, but not the Dutch word for it. ;D
