I used them on my old Elite and worked fine.They are thicker and not quite as flexible as VX originals so take abit of threading around and if I remember #6 is too long so will require some routing .

Last time I changed mine I used Accuspark CTL 8mm Blue.
I don't think they stock a Omega set nowadays but if you call them with measurements, they will probably put a set together for you  :y

The factory fit ones were made by Bosch. You might be still able to get them. The part number is probably Bosch 0 986 357 055. But check that out for yourself or make sure they can be returned. Autodoc have them here. (https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/1161307)

It’s a doddle on the 2.6/3.2 and an absolute breeze on the 2.5/3.0.

Although having to remove the inlet fanimold is somewhat unnecessary  :D

All the plenum and inlet removal is fine. The only issue is trying to lift up the wiring harness enough to get cam cover in and at the same time guiding the half moons in. Well that was my experience anyway 😃👍
