Personally I think MMC's stance on this is poor
Mogs are driven in the rain (sometimes very heavy rain) with the hood down, when touring can be left outside for days on end in poor weather, and as we all know, the hood when up can leak, never mind hitting a deep puddle at speed
Critical and sensitive electrics and their housings should be designed (and workmanship during install) to meet proper dust & water ingress IP ratings, especially when the owner is paying CX platform ££money
Rant over...
I agree, especially when you consider how well--established the principle is of potting electronics to keep out the wet. If Boyer Bransden could produce electronic ignition systems for motorcycles in 1969, I can't see it's beyond the wit of man to waterproof Morgan electronics half a century later.
This isn't a Morgan specific issue. I highly doubt that if one went out and bought a brand new Golf and drilled holes into the dash and body that they would expect VW to cover it. Nor is it expected that all should be water tight after introducing modifications that the manufacturer doesn't approve.
I fully appreciate many hold Morgan to a different standard as they are a bespoke coach built car, but lets not forget that there is now a lot more tech and wiring in these things.
Seems MMC can't win one way or another. Thankfully the order keep flooding in and was informed that a vast majority are new to the brand. Good on MMC.
