I got my last set from Chip Lamb here in the USA, but since you are a LONG way away<g> I would just start looking at wire sets for other cars that have at least two right angle ends and if too long shorten the distributor end. I have done this successfully in the past. Pry open the metal end that grips the wire, shorten wire, strip 1/5 inch or so & fold center over outside and re-crimp metal end on, DoNOT forget to put the rubber boot on the wire first! A little silicone will help slide the boot.
Don't ask how I know that<g>
Just keep an eye out for arcing in the mean time, if engine develops a miss look for this first. Easy to see & hear in the dark.
AC, I just HATE AC in these cars! The only good thing is IF and I say IF the installer put in the metal timing gear? Adds 75 lbs to car in the front! Hides the fuel pump, clogs up a already crowded engine access area in a Sonett III. Yes I suffer some even here in Pittsburgh in the summer and LOVE the AC in my 900 when I return my Sonett II V4 to it's garage<g>
Enjoy, RGS in Pittsburgh, Pa. USA
