HT Leads

Royal mail has totally let me down this week taking forever to deliver the parts I needed, however, I have managed to receive a few parts to work on the fitting bonnet and making the HT leads.

The HT leads are really easy to make, just put the rubber boots on first and then trim about 1.5 cm of outer cable (including the plastic). The inner core is bent back around the cable and then you crimp the terminal. You can just use needle nose pliers to do this which the youtube video below shows:

I have added Thermal Velocity boot protectors to the spark plug ends of the wires which will ensure that the heat from the manifold doesn't melt the lead. Here is the drivers side installation.

The engine is now fully wired up but I'm not yet in a position to test start it. I guess that's something to look forward to later.
