Nice. I cut off my bosses,..had a buddy fill the holes....and spent a little bit of time polishing...and they'll go back on the car soon.

I did it this way cause I had extra sets,...and, they where laying around....and well....it was free....soo...not bad for a couple of hours.

tigh work.

I make custom MSD wires for just this purpose. IF someone is looking for a set of 8.5mm Superconductors let me know and I'll make a set for you to the exact measurements you need utlilizing the multi-directional boots found on all MSD LS1 wires kits red or black wire.
