Hi Peter, I notice in your picture 2 simple cable connectors are 
employed to join wires close to the Rotax connectors, I would replace 
these with aircraft quality and tether them so they don't bounce around 
with engine vibration. best regards

  Hi! Peter, The grommets are to stop the ingress of water and maintain 
the wire central,  so mine are mounted vertically, perhaps that would 
help ?

  I presume that you have a tang crimped to the wire which engages in 
the slot in the socket from memory?

  Does anybody know what retains the cables pushed into the terminal 
block (see photo)? The ignition circuit kill wires are the two white 
cables and we have had some trouble with these not making a good 
connection. There are rubber grommets that fit around the wires and 
appear to be the only means of securing a contact by applying pressure 
to the cable when fitted inside the block.
