Genie47 1st Gear October 13, 2004 Share October 13, 2004 OK I'm considering going into ultra DIY territory here. Been to eBay and seen lots of universal fit ignition (spark plug) wires that are going as low as USD22. These are not your average 7mm ones. They are 8mm spiral wound Kevlar stuff. Just need to know if it is easy to cut and crimp these wires to fit my exisiting setup? Will there be any difficulties for lets say the spark plug boot end of my car is 90 degrees. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kytl68 Neutral Newbie October 13, 2004 Share October 13, 2004 Unless you have to proper tools .... it will be difficult to fix the end connectors ... I thought of doing the same buying Magnecor cables and DIY myself ... drop the idea as it will cost alot to fix the ends. By the way, if you give Magnecor your car model, they will be able to send to you the wire with connectors ... it should be about US$100 total. Try their website : http://www.magnecor.com/magnecor1/main.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear October 14, 2004 Author Share October 14, 2004 USD100! I'd rather get 6ft of MSD wires to DIY. Costs only USD14. I will ask around how to fix the connectors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeobh 4th Gear October 15, 2004 Share October 15, 2004 The cost of air parcel post for 1kg from US to Singapore will be around USD22.00 Delviery lead time is about 14 days. You will need special crimping tool to get the job done properly. Kevlar - very expensive stuff - you will need them if you are running your engine at lead burnt or doing street racing.

Ace_t Neutral Newbie October 15, 2004 Share October 15, 2004 why crimp when you can solder ? you should consider using good plug boots for proper insulation. Else you can use RTV for insulation, but you'd need a 24 hr cure time and lot's of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilomatrix 1st Gear November 28, 2004 Share November 28, 2004 (edited) Anyway, for those who drive Matrix 1.6 GLS (or same engine) and who are interested in Magnecor KV85 cables (terminated by Magnecor Australia), I have a few sets to dispose at S$150 per set. Sorry, I only have cables for Matrix 1.6 and not otherwise cos I'm driving a Matrix 1.6 GLS.
