You can make your own but i'm unfamiliar with that. 

 

Halfords do about 3 different sets of leads that'll fit, all different lengths. I just measured rough distance from coil to plugs and took the ones that matched the best. I routed them nicely and used some chrome/plastic HT lead tidys them up and they're nice and neat now.

A set of Ford leads should work fine. As Mike said just measure to make sure they are long enough for your coil-pack mount. I use Ford Ka ones with mine which is mounted on the bulkhead by the wiper motor.

I've had good success with just shortening leads to length, a little fiddly but you can unfold the crimp shorten and strip the cable, and re crimp.

 

Also I managed to get a set of magnacore leads for a V8 off ebay for about 15 quid, I got three sets of leads out of those!

I did it the other way round, got some old stock Ford leads off Ebay and cut down the plug end for some plugs caps I got from http://www.partsforaircraft.co.uk/
