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.


Not forgetting the can of trusty 'Damp Start' that I used to liberally coat all Bike and Land Rover electrics every year. Sure it would work on any water sensitive Morgan electrics.
