Davemk1 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I compete in my car in all weather and I was also concerned about the fuse box being below the engine cover vents. I did two things that together have kept them dry and working perfectly even in a heavy rain - - first I made a rain gutter on the bulkhead right above the fuse boxes. I used a piece of 90° angle and double sticky taped it above the fuses so water running down the surface of the bulkhead will go into the gutter and off to the side of the fuses. - I also covered each of the two fuse boxes with close fitting plastic bag and put a heavy rubber band around the box to hold it in place. The two things together seem to do a good job of keeping water away from the boxes and if it gets there the plastic bag keeps things dry. dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the Alps in biblical rain - cars never suffered from any water-related ailments over the 1500 miles or more that we did. And I mean Biblical rain! As you can see - all are aeroscreen and even a MegaBusa in the mix. but did I mention the biblical rain? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

averdon Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Just wanted to jump in and add that I can highly recommend the IOM, done it several times in my Westy and being able to drive flat out (in the dry) on public roads, legally is simply awesome. You just have to be respectful of others on the road, be paranoid about the speed limits in towns & villages and keep an eye on your mirrors….being overtaken by a bike doing 200mph+ is quite interesting. We always stay at the Sefton Hotel in Douglas, it’s right in the town, has sea views, is 5mins from the ferry and has an underground car park ! This is the view from the Creg ny Baa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
