Crossflow HT Leads
Good afternoon all
I'm looking to replace the HT leads on my crossflow engined locost,
and was wondering if anyone had got any particular supplier recommendations.
I was looking more, for quality of manufacture and durability, rather than cheapness,
any suggestions gratefully received
Thanks

so many modern pattern parts are inferior
I suggest if you do change them, you keep the old ones in a spares bin/ the bottom of your toolbox.

I got a set built by Mr Retroleads Ltd (07760 872 910 afitchett@hotmail.com) for my Toyota 4A-GE for £45 in 2023. It was necessary to use the old ones
as a pattern as the edis module is not on the engine, unlike your distributor of course.
No connection with the business, just a happy customer.

You might want to check out what historic Kent engined Formula Formula racers use as well as folk who rally Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escorts with Crossflows.

Hi Mike Wood ...
Thanks a lot for the links, much appreciated, will check them out.
I should have put them on my Christmas wish list, along with the new water pump,
that I've hinted at heavily !

You are very welcome. I always forget such key items for my Santa List too!
Other suppliers for classic Fomrula Ford 1600 (Crossflow) bits such as ignition leads include Trident Racing Supplies:
