I need to put some descent leads on the clubman as the front mount rad is cooking them, but I'm running a funny dizzy cap to make room up front. This one:



Does anybody know of a firm that will make some up for me or anywhere that will sell a set with a couple of longer ones to reach the bottom two outlets?

I can't use a standard set as the standard dizzy cap puts them right next to the radiator, 2 of them touching the fan housing.

Is it possible for you to turn the dizzy drive one tooth and retime it to put them in a more comfortable position?

Possibly, but it's just one cylinder that's to short and the crappy lead I have used is about 3" longer than the rest

The Likes of Real Steel, and of course Summit ( in the US ) sell DIY kits for leads from Moroso or other brands.

They are easy enough to make, although obviously the kits will be for 8 leads.

Not cheep! You have to trim a bit of the side to get the clamps on and obviously you need a longer lead for one of the cylinders (2 or 3, can't remember which).

Is that the cap usually fitted on the Meastro or Montego as standard ?

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

I could do, but that would be a waste of money seen as the car is being sold (hopefully) to fund the paint on my project car *smiley*
