Plug wires

Has anyone found a good source for plug wires that actually fit a Mini? The ones (Ultrik) I got from MiniMania with an electronic ignition kit are too long by several inches and clutter up that area under the boot. It looks like a bundle of snakes have crawled under the bonnet and are looking for warmth. In chatting with Minimania Chuck, he said that they are probably one-size-fits-all, and they don't appear to be easily shortened. Any sources for a better fit or some that can be custom cut?
