convert to civil spark plugs and wires

[ktm25089]

Hello,
This was something that i had in my mind for some time.And after the discontinue of the military plugs from Autolite i thought that wa the time to make it.
I have 3 sets of new 2245 and a new set of wires for the shows and where i want originality.But in daily driving i want something cheap and redy avaliable.So i choose for the plugs on Europe the Champion J8C and i make 4 new cables from old military cables.Following the photos

first of all here are the parts that you need from the old military cable


you have to remove carefully from the old cable the threaded end


and attach it to the new cables.If you have copper cables you can solder it


here is the civil cable with the parts all together



and finally the first two wires ready.I have to use some heat shrink between the military brown silicone and the black civil wire to seal it.First tests was good.I will post more photos of the installation tomorrow

If you type in a google search for "convert military spark plug wires to civilian", and click on "images" at the top, the 4th picture in will show you the finished wire conversion.


the link below describes a conversion on a similar type military wire to civilian which may help. The conversion of a USA m-series wire will be easier to do than in the link due to parts easier to remove.
