They're neat.
I'd keep the ali ones and not bother with plastic.

+4. May look even better if you painted them red to match the leads?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Very neat. Altough they look good in ally', I'd go ahead and make some out of plastic. Less likely to get the sparks arcing accross in the
damp.

hmmm, holding up high voltage wires with a metal (aluminum)? ?? not good.
you can get crosstalk when ignition leads are close together in air - air being a very good electrical insulator - so using metal is not gonna do you
any favours. 
real shame, as they look really nice. 
..... but run the engine, if there are no problems, then leave it. If you get ignition problems, then chuck them in the bin as the first step in the
diagnosis.
(Burton power do these but they appear to be bits of rubber with 4 holes in them, and presumably a split to allow insertion of lead).
you are better off using a long cable tie and 3 bits of rubber hose as separators.
make cable tie into U - put in lead - put hose over both ends of the cable tie, put next lead in and so on until last lead fitted, then do up the
cable tie - obviously not refittable..

Me likey !
Why not get them annodized - that would stop any arking due to being a very good insulating layer ?
Its cuz I is blond , innit

hmmm anodizing - not sure that would work; it certainly helps prevent corrosion but as an electrical insulator?
I reckon a high voltage spark would punch a hole in the oxide.
NASA say "We conclude that anodized aluminum, while a superb thermal control surface, is not well suited in the role of electrical
insulator."

i did think about an arc issue when i made them, hence why i thought of plastic ones....

^^^ as statedearlier, try running engine with them fitted and without and see if there are any problems.
you;ve made them already so have nothingto lose.
I reckon you'll be ok.
