waterproofing a V8?????

<< < (2/4) > >>

There's lots of stuff already on the forums, use the "search" facity at the top of the page.

What you'll need to do depends a lot on how deep you want to go, and it's perfectly possible to keep a V8 running happily even when all the electrics are fully immersed, have a look at http://www.rhel.co.uk//tomcattech/dizzy.htm for some suggestions.

If you want to get into pricy mods, you could always go for a military waterproof set up http://www.douglassmotors.co.uk/offers.asp?offset=5

I know this will not answer the direct question, but thought some of you might be interested.

Several years ago I worked in an Aquatic / Water Garden store, (now in IT, don't know how that happened) but anyway, I still see friends from the old day's, one of the lads told me about this water proofing spray this guy had sold to him, he said it will water proof anything electrical, to prove this he had a 3 pin plug with a cable attached and the live wire showing, he then sprayed this repellent on to the wire waited 30 seconds and put the wire in to some water, he then put his hand in the water :shock: Now been a belt and braces sort of guy, I wanted to see it for myself, so my mate carried out the same test, which I am glad to say worked, I am going to test it out on the HT's etc and I will let you know how it performs.

Can't remember the name of it, but will come back to you.
