size of HT leads

[pgc520]

what size are the HT leads on an MM 7mm or 8mm ? Has anyone tried the historical type of leads from Holden ?

As wide as will fit in the dizzy cap.
I buy a couple of yards and cut it to the required lengths with some spare
I do not suppose that the concours judge checks with a gauge

I am thinking of replacing my leads on my early series 2 with cotton braided type, can you please advise me when they are cut does the braiding fray out or is there a metthod to stop this I was thinking maybe a thin piece of Sellotape to keep it together until it either pushes into the dizzy cap or screws into the plug cap

sellotape wont last smearing of pva glue might help
