Oddly enough, 10-point cage and all, I kept the heater core so I can drive it in the winter - and keep a little warm and keep the windows clear, so I'll need the heater hoses to stay.
I was racing until almost midnight on Saturday when it got cold and slightly foggy...and was very thankful to have the heater/defrost in my car, so I don't blame you for this one bit.
Can't help you much, but we have mounted the ignition box inside the car to hide it and keep it away from moisture/engine heat.
