Post Mini Ignition lead Lengths
Can anyone tell me what length the standard A series ignition leads are ie.
No. 1 =
No. 2 =
No. 3 =
No. 4 =

The coil will be different due to mounting positions, i want to get a set of comp ones made up for mine

Thanks

Andy, There are two different caps, straight and 90 degrees, i think the later ones are the 90 degrees.

Its the ignition lead lengths I'm looking for, I'm looking at changing to the 90 deg cap to give me a few more inches of room as well

Andy, I only found 1 set of leads, they were on a straight cap but they had a 90 degree connector on BOTH ends, all the leads were the same length, 12.5" (145mm) They were fitted so all of them pointed the same way, roughly towards no 4 cylinder.

ps I ca'nt see the degree symbol on my keyboard :!: :!: :!: :? :? :? :? :( :( :( :(
