Does anyone have the measurement of the spark plug leads?
I had a set of tigerised ones, but they were sold with the black beastie.

Isn't short as possible the best length? Or is the resistance ideally a very specific number of Ohms? What are tigerised leads, do they have special resistors at each end or something like that?
You like, oui?

Measured a couple at 11 and 24 inches.     BDC

Tiger used to (possibly still does) make and sell spark plug leads and starter leads.  They fitted perfectly, of nice quality and made of copper, not that ghastly carbon crap you get in automotive stores.
However USA modelsuse plain caps and resistor plugs (DR8EA), and RestofWorld use resistor caps and non-resistor (D8EA) plugs.
