Default FS one set 1995 Red Beru spark plug wire leads: $139

New leads made by mistake (my order was for blue) last night...doh...should have read the fine-print (BLUE).

These fit '95 993's only (a few of the leads are longer than the '96-98 cars).

OEM beru wire, M3's, & connection tools.

NOW: my fine print: you'll need to remove your wires, unscrew each wire end (all 14 wires: 28 ends total: this is done with a toothpick & some Armour-all, as my instructions demonstrate), & re-screw on your connectors onto the new wires. Then re-install the wires on your car.

I'll ship for free just to not sit on this pricy wire set, you can email me @ Porschesolutions@gmail.com (also my Paypal addy) if you want them.

Thanks! Mark

Just my 0.2c on re-installing the wires... it's easier to route the wires through the engine bay without the spark plug connectors on the wires.

Route the wires, then screw on the Beru spark plug connectors.

AMEN - do yourself a favor and label the wires too. That way you eliminate a mistake of wiring incorrectly. I used shrink wrap labels that work well and are holding up well to the engine heat.

I provide a list of the lengths-per-cylinder designation with the set, so it's easier to determine where each lenth wire goes.

BTW, Mark the red wires you sold me are working flawlessly. I really like the red contrast of the new wires. Black may be OEM but is so boring.

Thanks for providing a lower cost solution to the full sets. You were right all my boots (on both ends) were perfect (no cuts, in-spec resistance) - there was no reason to buy new ones. (and the original wire set had 115k miles)

Also, like Jeff says above - its best to unscrew the boots while installing the wires - so you have to disassemble a full set anyway.....

I bought a complete factory set because I was concerned about unscrewing the ends. But I ended up doing that anyway, and it was simple to disassemble and reassemble, so next time I will buy only the wires.

My spark plug ends were in such nice condition that I saved them. I'll clean them up in case I ever need them again.

I don't know why but I never thought the distributor end would unscrew... so I threw them out with the wires. DOH!!!!

Sure Colin, Paypal is best: Porschesolutions@gmail.com, this way I can use the "ship" sequence off Paypal: works great.

Thanks (I'll email you too)

Almost embarassed to say, but I used spit.

I licked the wire before I screwed the ends on.

Please don't tell anyone...
