Time to get a new set of leads. Was thinking of making up my own set from NGK heads and Lucas copper leads. Has anyone done this - any tips?
Also, does anybody know what Bosch spark plugs are like, since I was thinking about fitting Champion?
Many Thanks in advance,

Mind you NGK are hard to beat too.

Bosch super 4 are superb, I have used on mini and mk1 golf gti, they seem to allow you to run a leaner mixture and still have smooth running, they do seem to be a bit susceptible to overly rich mixtures though!
I always fit bosch 8mm silicone leads, any thinner and they aren't fun when wet!

Be careful with the Bosch super 4 as they can cause a misfire for no reason when using points and not electronic ignition.......dunno why but it happened to me on an MG Metro I had a few years ago......Changed ingnition to electronic and the problem went away.....assuming the Bosch super 4 are the 4 electrode type otherwise I'm talking thru my A#* LOL

Absolutely happened to me too exactly as descibed abnd solved exactly as described.
Interesting!
I never tried with points!!!!! don't think they give high enough voltage spark to work properly :-)
