LiveWires Spark Plug Wires for 2002-2006 R50,R53 MINI Cooper and Cooper S and 2005-2008 MINI Convertible. Live Wires have heat resistant sleeving that provides superior protection to the plug wires from the extreme under hood temperatures generated by the exhaust. The sleeving is a non-flammable heat treated glass braid, much like the type used on todays ovens. The unique sleeving on the LiveWires provides heat protection up to +1400° F and offers excellent resistance to moisture and chemicals.
LiveWires have a durable and long lasting silicone jacket and insulation. Heat shrink applied
between the boot and the sleeving keeps dirt and moisture away from wire terminals. Dielectric
grease is included with all sets and should be applied to the spark plug boots to prevent
voltage leakage and keep wire terminals and boots from sticking to the plug.
LiveWires are a spiral core wire which means they have a stainless steel wire wrapped
around a magnetic core. This is a suppression type wire so there is no electronic interference
with the radio or computer and they work well with delay boxes and stutter boxes. A spiral
wound core also offers extremely low resistance of 300 - 350 Ohms per foot for optimum spark
travel.
Wires come as a set of 4, enough for one MINI, and pack of Dielectric Grease.
Available in Red, Blue, or Yellow.
