ignition leads
What to do about ignition leads?
I'm using an MX5 engine and a coil pack from an Audi A3. i need to use a coil pack with built in coil drivers as my megasquirt was intended for
use with COP but ive changed direction a bit.
I have ignition leads from the Audi but the ends to the coil pack are bonded on and they are not quite long enough anyway.
i can re use the spark plug ends as they come off easily from the MX5 ends.
Does anone sell just the ends that would go to the coil pack and i could make up my own? This is the coil pack i have NEW AUDI SEAT

NGK make plug wire splicers to join bonded in plug wiires but they are not cheap, you should find them on ebay.

The Bosch connectors are the ones I've gone for, they push on to the 4mm pins in the coil packs, click on the image st the link you posted
there's a better image.they arrive tomorrow so will let you know if they are ok. They look a bit odd in the images because they are not crimped
on the leads.

I hope you are correct. The Bosch coil is different though the male terminal presses on the inside of the female connector on the coil pack and does
not have a pin. Let me know how you get on.
The ngk item does it work by letting the current bridge the gap between the the 2 half's?

The oem coil pack is a Bosch item though lots of unbranded copies out there. Fitted them today, all good.

All sorted, i bought these
Vw Seat Ignition Leads
I popped off the metal and rubber bits to leave the cable for the coil pack. The spark plug ends from the Mazda just pop straight off and graft onto
the ebay leads. The ebay leads are nice and long as well so i can place the coil pack at a convenient place in the engine bay.
