JBOB 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Hi, Im just wondering if it would be safe to run the HT leads between the lower part of the inlet manifold and the head on a valver. Will it be too hot under there ?? Reason I ask is that ive got a polished inlet manifold and the Ht leads are the really thick Nology Hotwires and IMO they look really stupid going along the top of the inlet and they hide all the hard work ive put into keeping the inlet polished :lol: What do you think ? Cheers J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Darby 0 Posted February 22, 2006 you would think it would be hotter under the inlet manifold but not that hot. just try keeping them off the block/head as best you can, leave it ticking over for a bit a watch for it smoking i would say it would be fine.

sciroccotune 0 Posted February 22, 2006 not sure if it would be a problem in terms of heat but are they long enough? and are they better than normal ones out of interest? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks Adam :D sciroccotune Ive just been out to the garage and put No1 round the route it would take and its more than long enough 8) So in theory the others should also fit :wink: I bought these Ht leads when I got the car because the one that were on were knackered so I couldn’t say whether they were any better, certainly more expensive though !!!!!!

flusted 0 Posted February 23, 2006 i did it a while ago with no probs but thought if i ever needed to rmove a lead,id have to take manifold off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted February 23, 2006 I moved the leads this morning and have spent most of the day in the car 8) with no problems. I can get to the leads and get to the plugs if I need to so thats not a problem. I think it looks so much better now 8) I just need to clean the rest of the winter muck off :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers I haven’t been pulled yet :lol: Ive always found that if your rear plate is illegal then your more likely to get pulled than if the front one is. Mine is 3" x 9" so nowhere near std :D I bought three L brackets from B&Q and used some really strong glue (dont know the name sorry) and let it all set over night. Then the brackets are just screwed into the bottom part of the bumper. There’s some bigger pics in my gallery (link in sig :D ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted February 23, 2006 cheers mate, is it illegal though???? The front doesnt have a light on it, and i used to get pulled with the old car, as i didint put a light on the back one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted February 23, 2006 You need a light on the back but not the front. Yes my front plate is illegal. It should be the same size as the rear one :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
