Default coil pack conversion

Hi all anyone tell me where i can get a set of plug leads from for my Escort RWD running a c20let engine, its running a stand alone ecu with a ford coil pack, ive tried the mondeo plug leads but are to fat to fit in the plug holes, and not quite long enough.

Is it a generation 1 coil pack or generation 2 ?, 1 has "clips" each side of the leads that help hold on to the pack, and are short and fat, 2 are taller and thinner and straight not using the clip arrangement.
Either way a bit pricey but Magnecor do custom made leads, can down load a quotation form from the website.

Cheaper to get a new ford coil pack, than change the HT's, about £40 for a CP from ford I believe or you could use the Accel CP 140018, 100% straight fit in place of ford one, mine cost me about £45 inc taxes from usa spares, wymondham, norfolk.
