Plug leads

I'm bloody sick of EBAY and Mistermonkeyclaw, so after spending £138 quid a righthand switch assembly Paul Daniels couldn't get working, a clutch push rod I don't need and 2 coils but they sent me the wrong one. I wanted the 2 outside but he sent me a centre one instead I keep emailing him but he must be bit thick cos despite me saying the one he has left for sale is the centre one he sent me 
so Question is can I renew and lengthen the lead I'm worried about using brute force taking the plug off in case it's not meant to 
Must be the most expensive coil in christendom

An H2B. I tried listing loads of stuff in small batches but only got response from 2 lads with a kick start, carbs and side panels. I just think People don't like to part with their stuff which is sometimes understandable. I've had to buy shed loads on EBAY like the all cloks and housing the whole clutch assembly. Clutch, oilpump, sprocket and stator cover. Rear brake lever, gearlever and linkage that's before I start on cables and rubbers etc

not sure but, they might be the same a late h1
if that is the case then you can unscrew the lead out of the coil
you could also try a wanted add in the next club mag

The Yanks give MonkeyClaw a hard time and all moan about him. I've had ton's of stuff from him and absolutely no problems at all

I deal with Chuck & Eric a.k.a. Mr MonkeyClaw.
They`re rapacious buyers at the Swapmeets. Hard to find a cheap bike before them !!
They`re really good guys. Just TOO good at their jobs for the rest of us i.e. Buying old bikes, breaking them , knowing the true worth of the parts and asking that price for them. Seems their sales service is sharp too, given the postive comments from buyers.
As usual, I would guess that people who moan about them, are Folk used to buying stuff on an ad-hoc basis over the years for their own bikes. And they are finding it harder now due to the ibcreased "newby" interest in old/classic Kawa`s.
We have all suffered this to a degree. Mix of business clashing with amateur interests , and a bit of living in the past , when an old bike was just an old bike . Not seen by others as another form of investment commodity ?

I have had stuff off them, usually in pretty rough condition but can do something with. I am quite happy to buy off them if I have got to.
