To be honest, I've never had a problem with the Dizzy Units tiny breathers at the lower part of its casing.
If the dizzy cap is sealed, (properly) any water that could enter via the breathers will be forced out due to the air pressure within the unit.
For example: If you take a glass and insert it upside down in a bowl of water, the air pressure trapped inside the glass will stop the water entering inside the glass....
Try it at home tonight and you'll see my reasoning....
I'm not crazy.... Honestly it works... if you do as you say the water does go some small way up the glass enough toget the inside of the dissie wet with the inevitable result of a missfire or stopage.

Cheers guys for the comments. I have been thinking myself how to make it more resistant to water. I had a problem not so long back with water being the ballast injector pack and it was running cra*. Its been sorted now but i am more careful with water. I will be doing some water proofing, so i will keep you updated as i go along.
