"...couldn't get the fiberglass to look good...", really?

I understand there are various mag models and this may not apply to them but mine is a 6351. The pdf document that Tim Olsen shared (Champion L-1499B Ignition Lead Assembly & Maintenance Manual) is what I referred to. I bought the T-200 Slick Ignition Harness Tool Kit from Spruce and three 72" lead assemblies (Kelley S100-72) . The maintenance manual is somewhat inadequate in that it referes to Slick Ignition wires that apparently differ from either Skytronics or Kelley. The Slick wires referred to in the maintenance manual have a coiled center conductor whereas Skytronics and Kelley have a stranded conductor. On Slick wire you have to insert the little screw (that holds the spring) into the coiled conductor but on stranded wire it is crimped on. I just happened to have a crimper that works which I got from SteirAir to crimp the pins for my intercom connectors. Since the spark plug ends are already on the Kelley leads, cutting them to the right length, crimping the little screw on and then pressing them into the mag cap went well. The Kelley 72" leads are somewhat expensive, for me about $85 each so to build a complete 6 or 12 wire harness would be out of the question. Better to buy one. My problem was I couldn't find out how long the leads were in any specific kit without pulling one off the shelf and measuring them plus I had 3 leads that were long enough so only needed 3. Also lead time to have a custom harness made were way too long. I see big problems in trying to make your own harness: where to get lead wire and where to get the various parts at the mag end (drive ferrule, insulator sleeve, crimp on connector and spring). Plus you will have to make up the plug end also and get those parts. Repairing mine using Kelleys leads worked OK for me but next time I'm going to look for someone else to make me a complete harness.
