Post Photobucket reboot from December 2009 continued...........I was back on the heat management trail today. But first the three electric connectors which on the Series1 Roadster are, at least, fixed to the front of the offside cam cover. But with the wires sloping down into the connectors, if any water gets on the wires...........it will run into the connectors.
Here it is as standard............
I've considered all sorts of fixes involving stainless steel and neoprene, but its a bit of a stumper. So for now I've fashioned a piece of high density neoprene just to act as a deflector. I've also added a bit more loom tape to tidy those wires up. It makes quite a difference.
Next is the top hose and stainless pipe which runs down the centre of the "Vee". This pipe is very close to the 'distributor/coil pack'. Electronics don't like heat, so I've made a simple shield from aluminium, and covered it in my favoured foil.
This next photo is taken with the air filter removed, and the foil looks a bit messy, but the curve is there to accommodate the air filter. Note how close the tube is to the HT leads.
I'll cover the air filter next on a separate post.
