moran75 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hi all re the repro ‘period correct’ date coded spark plug wires offered by CARS…. can anyone post a pic of what they look like? What colour /material/finish… Apart from date code do they look any different to modern alternatives ? Also I believe they are ‘correct’ length - is that true? only ask because i’m not a period correct purist , but like the idea that they may look more interesting than the overly long and plain smooth black versions you get today …. But if they aren’t would rather not pay out quite a bit of money just to find out !😀 Thanks in advance kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Take a look at the ones made by Lectric Limited. Chances are CARS may be reselling them. No picture in CARS catalog? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No picture in CARS catalog? Yea not likely there is another manufacturer for these than Lectric Limited. I've purchased 3 or 4 sets from Lectric over the years and my experience has been they are a high quality wire aside from being very authentic appearing. Here's a pretty good shot of them 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call Lectric Limited and ask them if they’re the supplier for CARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Somewhere in this forum, Jim Cannon has posted the correct factory lengths for each wire. One nice thing about the wires from Lectric Limited is the bot that covers the spark plug hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moran75 Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 As an update I’ve just fitted set of Lectric Ltd wires - date coded but I was interested in the fit/length…must say very happy - no more spaghetti under the hood - happy days 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) They look great installed, Kev. The Lectric stuff always seems to be well done. John Edited July 12, 2023 by Jolly_John (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
