Ignition Leads for the 230SL
« on: September 23, 2016, 13:27:03 »
Is anyone selling good quality ignition leads for the 230SL? It looks as though the later cars have bosch ones available but not for the early ones.  There seem to be ones by STI/Karlyn although different websites seem to show different versions of these.  I'd feel happier with Bosch or Beru.  The resistance seems ok on mine but the quality is pretty low and there is a lot of copper oxidation on some of the connectors.
Thanks for any help

I've been using the set that you can buy at K&K mfg. The 230SL Beru set is very close to originals.
