BN6 ignition parts question

I can't locate a supplier for the small black distributer wire (see pic on right), which looks frayed.

Also for the plug leads (see pic on left), which I assume are correct.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Plug leads are usually available from most of our suppliers.

If the ground wire covering inside the dizzy is just frayed make sure the debris is cleaned out and the wire will be OK as is.

However if the ground wire it's self is frayed you can make a new one using copper solder wick just put a Z bend in it to insure no loading.

Also if you have some left over Pertronix wire it is also flexible enough to use here and is insulated.--Fwiw-Keoke

Thanks. I'll contact BCS about the wire.

Regarding the plug leads...I saw them in a majot supplier parts catalog, but not the red ones. Are the red ones correct? Just wondering...thanks
