Magnecor Leads

Post by Imran »

Hi,

I recently bought some Magnecor leads for my 220 Turbo coupe and the coil lead didn't fit. The connection for the coil side was different.
Can someone please clarify whether there are two different types of coil for the 220 turbo coupe or whether I have been sent thet wrong coil lead.
I am not too pleased as I have to send the shop back some pictures etc etc it is all a bit of a pain :cry:

Has anybody on RT managed to get a coil lead for the 220 turbo to fit directly??

imran :(

For future reference, where did you get them from?

You can buy leads from Magnecor direct btw.. I suspect they are probably cheaper too... I've just had to order some custom HT leads for work from them.

interesting, is one better than the other? as I have the cube one, but have the cable for the barrel type, is it worth me switching over to the barrel type so my coil lead fits?

cheers
