Bhr coil leads

Hoping the American market can help where my UK market has failed
I recently brought some bhr 585 coils without leads, these are the older style 2010_2012 version and I'm struggling to get leads made up and no one seems to have specs of the end terminals.
Can anyone provide pics or even better measurements of the terminals that reach the coil terminal that would be amazing

not too sure what you mean by 'older'. D585 coils have never changed packaging as far as I know (i.e. the lead type).

They are bhr older 585 and they have a different end on for 2010-2012 coils which is why I'm struggling to find the leads

the end connections are the same, just that the early leads had a weak point that was later resolved

any RX8/LS2 coil spark wires should fit; BHR, BennettBuilt, EBay, etc.

edit: you're in the UK, there is a kit there that the leads should also work ...

that's because all those are for Mazda OE type coils, you need leads for LS2/D585 coils made to fit the RX8

MSD Spark Plug Wires For Ls2 Coils ? BennettBuilt Performance

or contact BHR

or Magnecore will build you a set to fit, just tell them RX8 with LS2/D585 ignition coils

Omg I feel an idiot I've gone off what one person said in which the upgraded magnecor leads would be fine, and missed the point that there's a different lead for the 585 totally. Just gonna order off magnecor again thanks guys
