Default MSD wire question

Well I just found out that one of my MSD plug wires thought it would be cool to ground itself against the header. Well I wrapped the damaged wire in heat tape ( i dont have any extra wires) and I bent the base of the wire almost 90 degrees so it wouldnt happen again. My question is this, my buddy says you can bend them and it wont effect anything, so Im just making sure its ok to bend them. Also does anybody know where to just get 1 8.5 MSD plug wire? I dont know how long my temp fix is going to last. I even might just replace them with stockers, I heard a rumor that the stockers actually have a lower resistance rating, but Im going to look into that one

MSD designed them to bend, thus "bendable" boots

Yes you can buy single MSD wires from CC performance. They are a sponser here and Chris is a great guy to do business with.
