Seedy Al Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 That is a lot cheaper than the gates stuff I bought from repco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 You can get 25 ft (7.6m) of 5/16 Gates injection hose for around NZD100 including shipping from Rock Auto. That's just under $13 per metre so not badly priced. Depends on how much is needed I guess. /should order some myself tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got proven wrong the other day when I refitted a mates PC with a bunch of my hardware and just plugged his hard drive in. A couple of restarts and it was booting sweet and he's had zero issues. Hardware was totally different. Windows 10 life. I said nah mayte, it will shit the bed, 0% chance that will work. Â As for cloning, have used Acronis, but that was replacing HDD with SSD, in windows 7 and no hardware change, other than the obvious.

Â As for cloning, have used Acronis, but that was replacing HDD with SSD, in windows 7 and no hardware change, other than the obvious. Was windows 10 pro. Laplink PC mover had the best go. At the last minute moving the DLLs over, then the faeces hit the fleecies.. In retrospect, I found I had a faulty ram stick, may have been the cause, but laplink tech support was good, and then refunded when I said I'd had to manually build the OS and reinstall. Mixed bag with just moving them, sometimes they work, sometimes not, it seems. The other issue is that usually a SSD is smaller than the HDD its replacing, which complicates the cloning.

Bling Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hmmm interesting. That's a bugger though! SSD's are pretty cheap now, so its not too bad to get similar sized drives now thankfully. I backed up the previously mentioned system just in case, but was amazed it just shuffled some files around and worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Where would I get a set of universal HT leads i can cut to the right length that have straight boots at the distributor end and eather straight or anything upto 90 at the plug end? Under no circumstances do I want gray boots or boots with the big thick blobby shit for puling the lead off the plug  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Are you able to use solid copper core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Repco or BNT will have individual leads you can buy. You just need to know what length. Otherwise V8 shops such as STA will have V8 lead kits you can cut to length and crimp one end on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I have had custom leads made at repco before, I think you need to find a good dude behind the counter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 As said earlier repco (and other places) usually have an assortment of single leads so just get the right length ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I went and had a look at auto stop they had Bosh Supersport inductive core leads witch are nice  What hat do the numbers mean on them? 106 & 505 & 609? I thought they were just universal leads are they different values?   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 If it's for your V8, i think copper core is better for the coils. But i always forget what kind of coil you're using on that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now got an electronic hall effect distributor and high energy coil, I carn't use copper leads anymore as they give off interference witch can screw with the trigger.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
