A bit late on this, but I just got a set of HT leads from A series spares, they made up a custom length set for me, worked out cheap too!

I used NGK LZFH non resistive screw on caps. Nice tight fit with the rubber seals on 7mm cable. Also used a screw in lead dist. cap. Careful with the securing screws as they will start to push through the top of the cap if done up too much.
