    Was about to say $44 is the standard price... then I saw the ends

    Wonder if they still do a right angle end like that, going to need it for the RG... might have to enquire about custom leads, or just buy the components and make the leads myself.

    Hrmm, its the right part number on the box though. How much longer were they?

    Do you know if the NGK leads have the right angled bits? I had been meaning to enquire about those, but been to slack LOL.

    Apparently the NGK ones do indeed have the right angle plugs. That has been the consensus so far anyways. I guess Hosking will let us all know.

    Update: It's an 18r
    [Edit]No wait, I think it's an 18r with a different friction surface 200mm compared to 225mm

    Cheers, Jason

    NGK leads do have 90 deg. spark plug connectors. Check their web site www.ngkspark.com.au they are/were listed under import motor type. Thet don't sell direct you have to go to a distributor (Bursons) as listed on their site.

    I did the n00b mistake of not searching before posting. I submit myself for a spanking (please? anybody? ahahha)

    Definative proof they at least were right angled, found in this very thread ! (Well at least the existence of this photo was found in this thread).

    looking good.
    one question though, is the dizzy on correctly or is it 180 deg the wrong way. that is shouldn't the adjuster be on the oppisite side.?
