As a matter of interest,what meterial is the original BMW HT Leads made from?are they silicone?they seem to be the popular "thing"nowdays,and if you make your own,as i do,what have you found to be the best cable to get?cheers,Julian.
I bought a pair of the origonal metal clad ones for my restoration but they are a sealed unit with both ends molded so i could not tell you what the conductor is,

The actual wires are stranded, I don't believe the jacket is silicone.  I use Belden 7mm stranded core spark plug wire and NGK 5 kohm plug caps.
