Could you just use a bit of tiny bit of fuel pipe if the orings wont tighten the leads down? If you could find some the right size.

Are the modern silicone leads compatible with our old coil/ht ignition ?
Do you have a problem with the original leads?
IMHO, it's the plug caps that give problems before the leads.
