Default Spark Plug wiring harness recommendations?

With so many choices, so many price points and so many mixed reviews on spark plug harnesses I figured I would post here to see if there is a consensus here on a good quality spark plug harness for an IO360 running fine wire plugs.

Thx!

I like the aftermarket Skytronics harnesses that have the hard 90-degree fittings at the plugs. I purchased a set from them 23 or 24-years ago and like it better than anything that was available at that time. At that time, they had an office in El Segundo near where I worked. Not sure if they are still making them.

What ever harness you get, make sure you get the correct one for your spark plugs. There are two different tread sizes on aircraft spark plugs. (5/8" or 3/4")

Do not buy the low cost version (ACS, I think) from Spruce. Very poor quality.
