Hope a forum member may be able to help Me out with the above please .
Apparently this model was originally fitted with clips /brackets which guided the H.T leads to the spark plugs ?
They were apparently attached to the cylinder head (or carb manifold) & held the leads in a tidy position ?

I would be very keen to see photographs or even a sketch please ?
Even more interested if any were for sale ?

Thanks in advance ,

Steve ...

If you can zoom in on this pic, it seems to show some sort of little clip/bracket to hold/retain the plug leads.

Bit small, but not my pic....

What does the parts book say.
What do later year parts book say, if the same was used in later years ?
Once you have a part number, someone will have knowledge of them/have them... (?).
