just going by AN replacement -- from the pic, maybe not 45's, but appear to be angled closer to 90. looking at the pic, not sure how they're coming off the coil and routing the wire above the head and looping around and coming into the plug from the rear. something's not making sense to me - ??? the transition straight off the coil seems to be a better, more direct route - ???

pretty much OE correctness and a learning exercise. when I bought my 74, it had a couple new moroso leads. they were suppressed and a bit too long - to make matters worse, one measured at 785 ohms, and the other at 3.3K ohms - odd since they were new and looked to be the same besides that, I went through a couple iterations of resistive and non-resistive plugs. in a nutshell, I wanted to sort out this inconsistent plugs/HT lead mess and find out what was OE, and if it was possible to replicate the HT assemblies. i'm trying to keep my 74 somewhat original and as period correct as possible, so the trivial details. like everything else, I probably put way too much time into this -
are you saying the WC200 plug caps are unique to the Mk3's? from the 74 sales brochure, the engine photo (front cover upper right, engine photo) clearly shows "champion" in white lettering on the plug cap. same on page 2, the black interstate, and the orange, tangerine, hi-rider, again, clearly shows "champion" in white lettering. i'm assuming WC200 plug caps. based on the cover engine pic, there also appears to be some variation in color between the black cap and the wire, so i'm again, i'm assuming a possible "green" color.
I wish those "not quite 90°" coil boots were available somewhere. Mine are straight out 180° and the wires come close to the motor.
Yes these green wires were on my original 75 model with same white blue red paint . Wish I hadn't tossed them .thanks for the replies. look at the pic - how good are your eyes. this is supposed to be a 74 crate bike - aside from the cable routing, does it look like the plug wire has a hint of color? to me, it doesn't appear black, but unless my eyes are deceiving me, i'm thinking a dark green or a dark blue - ???
the pictures below - this was posted on another thread. are these original wires? they appear dark green. I do know, that on other british motor products, MG's and such, some were fitted with a dark green suppression wire - ???

...and these folks seem to have an ample supply of NOS WC200 caps. black coil boots are readily available, so anyone looking add a little extra detail, everything's there. may not fool the rivet counters, but unless you still have your OE wires, this may be the only option to replicate the originals.Green HT cable is available in the UK from these guys
