Default Ignition leads

Im looking for ignition leads for my sapphire 2wd cosworth. I have been looking for about a month but no joy. I have been sent 2 sets that are not correct.

Do any off you know where to get standard 2wd leads? Eg black leads with the yellow idents on them stating the cylinder number.

You can still get the originals from ford but they want about £240 for the set no joke.
I can also get them from fordpartsuk at a price of £200.

Any help much appreciated

I bought BOSCH ones here in Denmark, much cheaper (in GBP I think it was about 40-50£) than other avaible from most tuner/Ebay. They are black much shorter, and the cap that goes over the plug is a bit lover than "motorsports" ones you can buy in blue. And they work without ANY trouble

Staffi - Seen yours on ebay, but i have a used set allready lol. Really wanting a brand new set.

Im realy not a big fan of the blue leads. The car is completly standard so i recon they would look out of place.

I bought some from matt lewis racing. (Different from lewis motorsport) and they dont fitt properly. They sound very much like the ones that DanDK is talking about above.

Any other ideas guys? Im rather fussy when it comes to these things

there are two types, 2WD and 4x4 - some have a right angled connector on the dizzy end instead of straight and need the corresponding dizzy cap

Yeh I know, its just rather difficult trying to find a set of standard or standard looking 2wd items. As i dont want to swap dizzy caps realy. It may be cheaper.

Graham goode dont supply the Beru. I remember asking them about them before, they only have 4x4 ones in black.
