Is this anorack stuff or what? You'll all be heads down, bum in the air inspecting those plugs I bet!!!

Do the British ignitions use sealed/waterproof supressed leads like that found on the later Ferrets, etc? This Mortar Carrier had unusually large plugs with sealed leads and Lucas gear all over it.
