Waterproof or Semi-Waterproof Housing for Fuse Block???

[PWagon]

I am wiring in my fuse block under my hood (2003 5.3 Vortec to '86 K5), and I'd like to know what your suggestions would be to make a semi-waterproof housing to keep water from splashing into the new fuse block (fender mounted). Any ideas? I don't expect to make it water tight, but some protection would be ideal (especially in keeping out the dust).

Also... I've already bought my fuse block and relays, so I don't want to buy new ones (no kits please). I just need a housing idea to keep protect the connections.

This is kinda what I'm looking to install...

A friend who mud bogs uses a Tupperware box. And lots of silicone.

Have you looked at any of the waterproof boxes made by Pelican? You can get a copy of one in the Sporting Goods section of Walmart pretty cheap. I use them for canoeing, boating, etc.

I would think you could drill it out for the wiring and use hardening silicone to seal the holes.

You could retrofit an old army medical tin...
They're weather-proof.

That's what this was, till I modified it to be a breaker panel...

That gasket is NO joke...

Why don't you just get a fuse box that is already sealed. All you would need is weather pac crimpers for Delphi Metri Pak 280 terminals. You would have to use the mini fuses though.

Definitely the way to go.
