Hi all, I've been going over some of the bits and pieces I may need if I decide to rebuild my Tiger. The most expensive item on my list so far is the Nology coils at £210 for the three. From the threads I've looked at they seem way cheaper in the States - is there a source over there that ships to UK? Or is there a cheaper equivalent available in Europe?

Don't get caught out by forgetting the import tax,  I got ROASTED over an exhaust I bought from Texas for my old Yam... :evil:

Thanks Bob, as much as I love our green and pleasant land I'm starting to get mighty hacked off with fuel prices, VAT increases, service cuts etc.

Before you order them there's a wee loophole but they will have to co0me to my address first then on to you but chances of customs charges are 99% zero !

Another cheaper option is to fit coils from a TT600.
You`ll have to wire them in, but they are reliable and much cheaper than the Nologys.  :)

that new level motorsport is a good place to deal with. i got my coils leads n plugs from them for less than 3 coils from the uk.

I went the TT600 coil route, £40 for a set of 4 off ebay. £5 worth of wiring and spade connectors from Maplins and your away. All you need to do is build up the body of the coil a bit to stop road crap and water getting down into where the spark plug sits, I nicked some heatshrink tubing from work and shrunk that down over it to make a snug fit - sorted.

Self-amalgamating tape as used to waterproof electrical joints does the same job and it remains slightly sticky so will form a good seal.  Just remember you have to stretch it as you apply it to activate it.  It sticks to itself and forms a chemical bond within a few minutes.
