how can they not,...there are multiple people on the forum with magnecor leads? dont they have any kind of database of lead lengths?

crazy....
I can't speak for the others who got it before this group buy, but when I did mine, I took my set of leads to them (Magnecor distributor) & they just matches the length without measuring it. So there is a possibility that they don't have any records of length in hand.

Stock GPX Leads:----Magnecor GPX Leads:----Magnecor GR Leads:
61cm-------------------58cm------------------------65cm
61cm-------------------48cm------------------------62cm
46cm-------------------42cm------------------------48cm

I think the Magnecor GR leads are the ones needed for the GPX.
Those lengths are slightly bigger than stock GPX ones, which is needed because of there increased thickness.

Someone measure the stock GR leads please.

I guess i'm gonna have to go and take off mine now. :evil:

Just a note. Those measurements i posted are just the visible bit of wire not including the wire hidden by the connector. If that makes sense :?

They know the length so no need to worry. Kudo just suggested this to be 110% sure - however I don't think its necessary.

$6 is a bit of an issue but it better than using the current lead set as these will last for a long time.

However if you think that $6 is a big issue for you please PM me. your still recieving a good discount on the overall RRP of these products.

We are still waiting confirmation. You shouldn't have installed them when you found the lengths were not right. Anyway I have requested you get a new set and we are just waiting for confirmation now all, bar yours, sets have been returned.
