Won't happen -- my bus is weather protected inside the passenger compartment. 
Even the bus to battery connection is inside. There are only two external 
connections to the bus:
Front radiator bracket:

Engine block (at the top, thank you very much, not right next to the pavement): 
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/387305_294242413954349_1594776592_n.jpg
Everything else is just as weather protected as my upholstery, carpet, and 
headliner.

Note also that bus connections are not left bare as pictured in Message #85588 
(that picture just illustrated how soldered factory junctions are attached to 
the bus). The saddle clamp is then wrapped in heat shrunk tape:

Bus connections aren't even exposed to the climate controlled atmosphere inside 
the car! 


Metal bodied cars contemporary to the DeLorean typically had capacitors on 
ignition only. They didn't need capacitors anywhere else because something as 
simple as turn signals didn't create a bunch of electrical noise. My ground bus 
emulates the electrical efficiency of a metal bodied car. 


IMHO.
