Default I need to make a custom plug wire

I asked this question over on the External Engine forum and did not get a response. I need to make one custom plug wire to get around a header tube. What have you folks with custom plug wires done about the coil end of your wires? I took an old one apart hoping to reuse the terminal end, but it does not seem possible. I need either a 90 or 135 degree end on the spark plug side, those I think I can figure out.

thanks

Pat

If you just need one of these terminals and can't find one locally let me know and I'll send one out to you.



I keep some around for the same reason; some projects require a plug wire that they just don't make!

Thanks John, the folks at Taylor wire said they will send me a couple. If that does not work out, I'll send you a note. What about the white plastic piece that slides over them?

thanks

I don't have those. I've noticed that some of the aftermarket wires skip that part altogether. I think the main purpose is to keep the small terminal centered in the big boot so it all plugs onto the coil easily. You can either reuse the original or not use one at all.
