Plug Wire Splicer?

[psyguy]

Would anyone know if these might be available in NZ / where to buy them?
Any experiences using them?

Cheers


NGK Plug Wire Splicer (TU38-1024)

Used for splicing new wires on old coils where the plug wires are molded into the coil.

Never seen those before, but I just cut the ends off and 'shoved em in' - seemed to work.

Try an Auto electrician?

the coils on my gs are sealed ...

[psyguy]

so, i checked all the usual automotive outlets and auto electricians
and the folk there mainly looked at me like

much easier to sit behind the computer and order some from the usa then running around, i now know

I guess they would. Cars don't use copper cored cables. Ask a bike shop to order it in from the distributor (Darbi), hopefully they have some in stock.

a-ha, that'd be why... but i thought older cars did use copper cables, no?

All they are is a small thread on the inside that screws down the centre of the lead, and 2 clamps to hold it all together.
An old screw and some insulation tape should set you right!

i've been thinking along these lines, but wouldn't i need a "screw" that's threaded on BOTH ends?!

Oh yeah, memory kicks in, I actually made one for my road RG. Think I sharpened the end of a cut off screw & slid over a tube & epoxied it. But meant there was a longish straight section & it's pretty cramped under those GS tanks.

On the other hand why rescue the stock coils? They are pretty piss poor, better off to find some old Honda ones or similar. Also while you are about it I replaced the GS rec/regulator before it crapped out as they inevitable all do. A yamaha one (I used RZ) will wire in the same, extra wire to a switched pwr wire near by is sufficient.

As far as the old cars using copper I think you'd be going back more than a little while, but to be honest I try not to keep up with how cars work, evil things.

no intention to rescue them, want to go dyna in the future but need to attend to cables asap
thanks for the info

Once I was stuck a long way from home. I used a broken small drill bit. I carefully drilled into where the pin on the coil was and left the bit in there. I twisted the plug lead onto the broken end of the bit. Glue in place and cover with sealant and shrink wrapped over the top of that.

That repair lasted until I got rid of the bike a year later and swapped the coil set.
