I may be wrong, but most HT leads will have suppression stamped on the PVC, so may find plain black a night mare to find.

I am only saying that as when I built my two seater sports car, it had to go through a test by VOSA and it had to be shown they was suppressed.

Mine were a pre made set from the local motor factors.

I recently made a set up for mine from here and the cable is plain black, http://www.gsparkplug.com/shop/misc-cor ... black.html
I ordered 3m which was enough to make two sets. Prompt service and delivery.
