I believe Matt Kimmins is back building the EDIS 4 MGB version which has the EDIS together with the MJLJ in the same enclosure. I have one on my XE in my grasser.

You can buy a ready made megajolt unit from Martin Millener. He has taken over from Bill Shurvinton I believe. Contact him on martin@millener.com
I`ve just bought an MJ unit from him complete with software and laptop connection cable. Just under £100 inc postage. I haven`t fitted it yet but hope to in the next few weeks. Martin has been very helpful and in regular contact via e-mails.

I had mine off Matt. Great quality build and very helpful. He uses screw on waterproof connectors unlike most others who use computer connectors. The EDIS is built in so wiring is simpler and it comes with a TPS if you don't already have one.

For the money I thought it was good value, but I didn't like the way the EDIS unit was supported only by it's pins being soldered to the megajolt PCB. Vibration would be likely to crack these joints with time. Also the PCB had no solder resist so would be prone to corrosion.

All very easily fixed though, I clamped the EDIS to the ally case with a couple of nuts and bolts and some heatsink grease (making sure not to strain solder joints, re-make them after bolting down. Also I gave the PCB a good few coats of conformal coating (special varnish for PCBs) to prevent any moisture problems.
