It is still a good idea to use an o ring, seal, or other type of goop where wires enter the pedestal to cut down on possible chafe. Any stray current reaching the pedestal due to bad insulation will make powder coating peel off the pedestal like snake skin.. Probably not the best for the instruments either..
