Spark Plug Leads for 18RGU
|

All the auto places (Autobarn, Bursons etc...) have been giving me the run around for spark plug leads for my 18RGU. I broke one in 3 places the other day while inspecting the condition of my new RA28.
Getting the lead isnt a problem, but getting one with the rubber boot that fits over the hole in the rocker cover is. Could someone provide perhaps a item code or option to specify when chasing plugs to suit this engine? When I had an 18RGU in my old Corona RT132 4 years ago getting these leads wasnt an issue, but seems things have changed a wee bit.
All help appreciated, (should I try Rare Spares, where do you get yours?)

I actually got a set of top-gun leads from supercheap auto specifically for the 18rg series motor.
They had to get them sent up from sydney, but they could get them.

Yeah, I went to Supercheap also - they came the closest with the correct leads for an 18RG but they didnt have the rubber seal for the rocker cover. I asked about ordering them in, and they recommended going back to Bursons to order Top Gun Leads.
Did the ones you purchased have the rubber seal for the rocker cover? Or were they simply leads?

Yup, I got Top Gun leads from Supercheap also and they came with the rubber boots for the 18R-G. They weren't expensive from memory, ie a similar cost to other Top Gun leads.

Okies, I will keep trying. Methinks Top Gun will be the go for the leads, and some nice NGK Iridiums just to top it off :0). Thanks for all the help ppls.

Yeah, my leads came with the rubber boots. If you still wanted to know.
I've still got the box at home, so i could post the top-gun part number later if you like.

My Top Gun leads are blue; I don't think I've seen any other colours, but they may be available if you ask.

ok, this sounds really odd, go to your local mitsubishi dealer and ask for a set of topgun leads for it, Top Gun now sell leads to mitsubishi {MMAL} and MMAL sell them as a gen part.
U are ALL thinking: "18RGU's are a toyota not a mits"
doesn't matter i know for a fact that as of yesterday the sydney MMAL w'house had 2 sets, they only started stocking top gun leads on monday so more will come
retail is like $44 or so
i'll get the part number tomorrow and post it,
call any mits dealer in the country and they'll freight it for free too {mits pay} 1 day to brissy anyway.

Thanks everyone, I finally have a set of Top Gun leads on order that "do" have the rubber boot for the Rocker Cover.
I have some nice NGK Iridiums coming in also mainly to replace the one I broke trying to remove it from Cylinder 1. Must have been a little corroded, will put a little oil on the thread when I put the iridiums in.
Some points also on order, and she should be running schweet! Thanks for all your help.

Additionally
For future reference - The Standard "Premium" TOP GUN leads for an 18RG series engine's part number is...
TG4446 and should set you back just over $30 for a full set with the rubber boots for the rocker cover.
