Fuse box / underhood/waterproof

[SHINTON]

Dad is wrapping up the 1946 Willys restoration and they are getting ready to start wiring it up!!

He switched to a 12v system and wants to put in a good / waterproof / fusebox to run everything.

I swear I have seen these for building buggies but cannot find any links tonight / epic google failure!!

Any help is appreciated!! (Tips and suggestions welcome too!)

While not completely waterproof, I would consider these: http://bluesea.com/category/5/21/productline/126

If they are good enough for a boat, they should work well on a jeep.

You can find Blue sea products online as well at boat stores like boaters world or west marine. Blue sea seems to be known for its relatively high quality in the marine industry.

I am wanting something that we can bolt onto the firewall / under the hood so it is going to get wet. Those looked a bit more like something that would go inside a boat where it was fairly dry?

I know we have some buggy builders on there / there must be something they are using or is everyone putting them up/under the dash/where they stay dry?

Boats are sometimes used in water.

ON my buggy, I mounted one of these on the outside of my firewall. I have a fuse block and relays inside it.

While I had to drill a hole to slide the wires in, the hole can be sealed easily with a grommet and some silicone. There is a rubber o-ring that seals the box lid.
