Magnecor leads

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Anyone know if the 8.5mm leads for the E30 M3 come with a seperator? I`ve ditched the BMW lead router which has damaged one of my leads (worn right throughthe black plastic) and will need something to seperate any new leads I get. I know some lead manufacturers provide a nylon seperator.

I want to keep my car resonably std but at �150 before VAT for std leads(which are meant to be fitted in the plastic harness thing), the Magnecor`s seem a reasonable price at �111 incluiding vat(an online shop). Is it worth the extra �11 quid to get the 8.5mm ones or are the 8mm`s good enough?

	I don't believe that they do. I bought my from Gustave and got the bracket that he supplies with them. The 8mm wil be fine unless you want to go to the 8.5mm which are a better wire but I doubt you would notice the difference to be honest. This is what the bracket I have looks like.

	I like the red ones (evo sport kinda look) so will probably go with the red ones which are the 8.5mm ones. I don`t fancy paying the extra shipping costs from the USA (or the long wait for the leads) so will order over here but might try and grab a bracket off of Gustave in a few weeks time .

	I don't know if Gustave one are different to the Normal Magnecor one for the S14. I know there a custom length, but whether this makes them longer or shorter I'm not sure. They might need to be a certain length to fit his bracket.
