    there are a few threads on them.
    it is a power distribtion/control block that eliminates many wires

    no the 300$ plus pricetag is too much for me .
    it allows for led blinkers and all the gizmos.
    you can reduce the wires by using it in conjuction with the M button . go to the link and look at the wire diagrams.

    Lightly oiled rags to keep crud and vermin out works (the smell of the oil will keep mice from chewing through the rags). Making blanking plates out of plastic or metal flashing works better though, because you can seal those with RTV to help keep condensation out. If you can manage tings so the carbs go back on in a day then the rags will be fine. If you're like me and have multitudes of things get in the way of your shop-time, then make blanking plates in case you're unabl to get back to it for a few weeks.
