Aftermarket GP cables

I'm guessing that this isnt true, but its worth a shot. Does anybody know of any aftermarket spark plug cables that are sold specifically for diesels? I see all these fancy shmancy cables in those darn honda civics with every single color that you can imagine, color is not a factor I'm looking for, but quality.

Ford is about it for an engine harness, the last one I bought was about 150 dollars three years ago.

Check these guys, you will have to remove a couple of non required wires.

The one I bought from Ford replaced every wire on the engine, but it was for a 94 model motor, so I had to splice the harness to the chassis harness on my 86, the connectors were different.

The link PLC posted looks like it only has the glow plug circuit in it, that just connects the glow plugs to the glow plug relay.
