MG Midget and Sprite Technical - UK HT lead recommendations

HT leads.

Realised at the weekend that my current ones are probably over ten years old so some new ones may be in order.

Any recommendations / contra-recommendations? I need push fit cap connections.

Any silicon based leads such as NGK or luminition are more than fine for spridgets. Should be less than 30quid for a set.
Nick

I bought a set of bumble bee copper leads with the NGK caps from Moss for my midget and they have been fine.
Shaun

I have used "hotwires" silicone leads for many years and recently picked up a set from e-bay for a tenner!

All silicone leads are pretty good. I've currently got a set of Magencor leads in Red, the blue ones are a different spec and less expensive.

Thanks for your input folks.

I've got a pair of 8mm silicone with right angle plug connectors in a rather snazzy yellow from ebay, £17.50 inc postage.

Search for "mini ht leads" and you'll find them.

I'll let you know how they perform though as I'll do a plug change at the same time it's bound to be an improvement.
