Default Economy ignition wires dont work with my leads

I have an 86 that has different leads at the caps. The wires ends screw onto a stud in the cap leads and vise versa at the plug leads, but the wires I recieved were the same at both ends. My old wires are Beru so what gives??

The wire set I provided was Beru with the correct Beru ends. On the Beru set both ends will unscrew.
You maybe have an aftermarket set wires and caps. That often happens.
The full set of Beru wires for the 85 to 86 are no longer available from the European wholesalers.
There are sets selling on eBay for about $200 which is a great price.

The 87 to 95 set now covers the 85 to 85 cars according to Beru. One customer did fit a set and they worked fine. I sell those for $320 so the actual set on eBay looks even better.
I have all the measurements for the 85 to 86 wires v the 87 to 95 set. The difference is 1" only on a couple of the wires.
