I didn't think that you could replace just the leads?

I thought the same as Paul (Stratman), isn't the ht lead at the coil end built in to the coil housing?

Nothing to stop you fitting coils with ones with leads that screw on.
However, just like connecting lots of 1m leads together to connect a tv aerial or connecting phono leads together to connect a cd player, the losses through the joins are more than the saving by using good oxygen-free copper or silver HT leads.
However the screw connection at HT lead/cap joint can be cut back by 6mm or so and reconnected. Make sure that you have enough spare slack length before you cut any off, though.... :eek2
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
