Yeas I know I took it apart and as you say re circuit is totally encased in resin but after a night of rain one alarm did not work properly, once it eventually dried out it worked properly again

With the circuit encased in resin it does not guarantee it's waterproof unless all in one PCB in a sealed IP rated case.

It's likely their are flying leads off the PCB to the battery pack and the various sensor inputs which are routes for water ingress.

Unfortunately the encapsulation (obviously) wasn't always perfect, but in most cases it was.

Try compression bushing

This came up on Google first
If you not bothered about nylon rubber etc
A 10mm bore should just clear the 3/8 bolt

Have you opened it up Wayne? I cannot remember now if the bolt was standard type head or a T-bolt head sat in the moulded housing, either way you want a 3/8 BSF threaded bolt with the right type of bolt head.

T Head Bolt
Finding one in 3/8 BSF is the difficult bit

For the lining up alarms I think these work better than O rings

You may well have later versions of the i3 alarms then as I bought mine from Max literally a couple of weeks after the initial launch, they had plastic collars with a rubber compression pad or someone has sourced some and added them aftermarket.

There is this type of thing available

ALARM LOCKING NUT

Or These

NEW DIRECTION
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
