Hi all,
I've noticed that some people have managed to hide their HT leads on their engine... question is, how?
I've heard that some have drilled through their fan shroud and some have used some sort of bar that lays across the top of the engine...

Has anyone here done either?
If so, would you mind expanding on it slightly?
I'm wanting to get my engine as tidy and minimal as possible :)
Thanks!
Sorry for all the silly questions... a guys got to start somewhere though! :)

You should have a look at the old Thump Thump Beetle 'Billabug' for inspiration, they even moved the carb to the front side of the fan housing.

You can make a lead carrier from tubing. Weld on tabs so you can mount to the rear of the generator pedestal . Clems buggy has one. Also available via Limebug.
