Garry D.
you can just start coming up with what ifs or we would all stop racing
its a dangerous sport,
battery's are volatile and always have been(they do and have exploded on charge so do we Ban chargers that make cells go bang)??
it's the first time i have ever seen a soldered speedo go bang
i have seen more go bang that were wired using connectors,so do we Ban connectors as its there fault, and loads more stopped because of unplugged wires,and Ur all missing the point the car had been side swiped,
in the 2 years i have been soldering in i have had no problems,
its down to personnel choice,its only been brought up because one car fried
but what ill do is keep an eye on it,
