The plug cap should screw tightly on to the ignition lead without the need to solder. :D

yes ,but The copper plug cap is older now can not re tight or remove and re arrange - so i think as a service just soldering wire with cap for more better - without remove wires from cap- I ask u - is it problem to ignition system ?

Sounds crazy - just cut back the wire slightly and refit the cap.....or fit new leads and caps.

If the leads are in this state then just renew completely.

There will be nothing to solder to if they are as bad as you suggest.
Nothing on the HT side needs soldering, save it for doing nice bullet connectors if you are a keen solderer.
