Plug wire holders

Update: Problem solved with some silicone sealer. I swear that and duct tape _is_ a tool box!

(I'm talking about a 1980 Kawasaki)

The happy owner before me put some way cool yellow "High Performance 8.5mm" spark plug wires and new rubber weather-proof boots that fit on the coils of my bike. Of course the original 8.0mm wire screw on retainers didn't fit so they threw them away. :mad:

Make it work with less parts, right? :cool:

Of course they were crap and arced everywhere. :mad:

So I replaced them with 8.0mm wires. From NAPA of all places as single lead wires - read from the coil to the distributor on a car - $20.00 and down the road! :o

But after about 1000 mi they worked loose and to make a long story short it ran poorly. I have tightened the wires up but with only the poor fitting little rubber boots holding them in I don't expect this to last long.

Any ideas on how to hold the wires securely in place? :confused:

Kawasaki does not seem to sell these as separate items.

Might they be the same size for Honda, Suzuki etc?
