Spark Plug Wires

[TheKlic]

I know I've brought it up before but searched and couldn't find the answer.
When changing spark plug wires do I need to special order or can I just pick up XXmm wires and "screw" them in?

Also, what size of wire is the right one?
Thanks and sorry

I gave up on search after 5 pages

Ok, borrowed a friend's calipers.
looks like 7mm in now, possibly could use 8mm

I was always told you could get bulk plug wire from any auto store . But when I went searching , they all thought I was nuts . Noone ever mentioned size being an issue . I thought it'd all be the same .

Not sure that you can walk into a auto parts store and buy a roll.. I'm sure you can get it online though.
However considering the small amount needed why bother? Just buy a set that matches the electrical demands of the kat. What is that?
There was a post ages ago that talked about it.

Depends on whom you talk to . My therapist thinks I'm ok , but that OTHER guy living in my head is the crazy one .
