I just installed a set of Bosch wires on my 82 this afternoon. Set 09096. I can confirm that they came with Beru ends on the sparkplug side. The distributor side appeared identical in clamp design, but was not stamped as a Beru part.

Edit: Mark Robinson is a good guy to deal with, though I have no experience with his wire kit.

Do any of these die sets look like they might work to
crimp Beru wire sets?

This is what you need to crimp Beru wires, only $325.

You could build 4 sets of wires @ 150 bucks a set with 1 roll of beru wire ( 82' ), box of M3 connectors (100 ), and of course that 325.00 crimper ( ZAZ3 ), you would need to reuse the old spark plug - distributer connectors and it would take time to assemble the new wires to the old connectors but its a hobby so time does not matter. The costs would drop to around 60 bucks a set on your next order of wire and connectors.

That's excellent news - the sets I worked with all had "Made In China" on the spark plug end.

Might be ok, but at that price why not support a vendor that knows the 928 well enough not to ship a bad part?

BTW ebay seller location is Oceanside, which isn't far from www.Eagleday.com
