    All you need is about 4' of 7mm wire. Can't use larger diameter. Unscew your old ends off and screw them on to the new cut wires. Use the "o-ring" from the old wires. Other wise the wire will come out/off the ends and coils.

    Mmm, Ignition wires should always be a one piece wire. It is very dangerous and risky to attempt to run a spliced wire. Unless you can remove the electrode end from the sparking unit, (which are typically molded in plastic), I do not recommend attempting to repair an ignition wire.

    Hot spots, arc outs, leeching, amp loss, etc.. are just a few reasons why not. Excluding, of course, the potential of explosion from any of these.
