Whoo HOO! So these are the nicest wires I have ever had on any of my air-cooled cars.
8mm Electrosports. Blue wire. American boots at both ends with really nice tin seals. (Magnecor Wires - 4023 - 8.0mm for Porsche 914) These are specificaly made by Magnecor for the 2.0L type IV engine. I'll get them installed tonight when I get home. I wanna get a picture of them 1st.
They rock. www.ApexPerformance.net Good price great service. Even got a sticker

Let us know how you like 'em. I tried to get a set through Pelican last fall. Waited 3 weeks and they said they didn't know when they were ever going to get them back in stock. Settled for the Beru set. Nice wires, but not Magnecor.

Have Jocobs wires on my 914 now. Put Magnacore on my 308. Nice wires!

Ordered Monday noon got them Thursday UPS delivery thats with Steve Brown Making them up.
The 8mm should work fine, but all the prices are:

Electrosports-70 7mm cable, part number 47442 -
Electrosports-80 8mm cable, part number 40442 -
KV85 8.5mm cable, part number 45442 -
KV85 CN series 8.5mm cable, part number 43442 -

*** PLEASE NOTE: The above will fit a Porsche 914 2.0 but will not fit a
VW 2.0 type 4 engine. If the engine was transplanted from a VW the
following set must be used.

Electrosports-70 7mm cable, part number 4723 -
Electrosports-80 8mm cable, part number 4023 -
KV85 8.5mm cable, part number 4523 -
KV85 CN series 8.5mm cable, part number 4323 -

They have a set of blue 8mm for under a hundred dollars for my 914/6.

I wonder if they have the proper spark plug towers on them. Anyone have any experience? I'm in the market for a set, and that's a great price.

if they're the same as the ones on the red 8,5's (and i don't see why they wouldn't be) they're good. not concours-original, but they are actually useful to folks like us who pull plug wires rather more frequently than most -- there are little finger-grips molded into the ends. good stuff.

Best thing to do is call Steve or email him. the 40442 is a 2.0L six cylinder engine. The plug boots and tin seal for my set 4023 will work perfectly for my Type 4 configuration.
