Default XR8 leads needed

I need an old set of AU V8 leads fairly urgently, something which was going into the bin would be good, so I don't have to pay for them.

I'm west of Sydney, out Windsor way.

How urgently? I have a set coming on Wednesday, and could post my old set of MSDs same day, I guess. One of them is broken at the plug end, but sort of still works.......

Sounds perfect, I only need them for the coil boots.
Have you still got my address?

PM me the cost of postage, whatever you want for them, your bank details and I'll plonk some money in your account.

The black plastic clip things? or the rubber part? Whichever, I can chuck just that part in the post to you - not worth worrying about cost. Just PM me a postal addrsss and I'll express post them to you.

Not newies - I'm getting B2TFs old (original Ford) ones along with original Ford coil packs. Both have done 85k, but have to be better than one busted lead and a set of coil packs that have oxidisation on 2 coils.

I'm not exactly sure what's needed, they're being used for a set of custom made leads, and he said he needs the coil ends.

Can you just snip the lead 25mm or so from the end.

I can just bung the whole lot into an express post bag - if I knew where to send them!

I'd reckon so - the car ran well with them after I put new plugs in it.

I've put new plugs in and still have a small misfire at times (usually under WOT) - and I suspect it's from cylinder #5 which is the one that the lead end/boot broke off.
