I was wondering where I could get a heat resistant enclosed box to cover my 2nd fuse box and a few other terminals that are bolted to the fenderwell right by the header. Thanks.

I would say there are not a lot of aftermarket plastic enclosures made that will withstand the heat (both convective and radiant) from headers if mounted in close proximity. I would recommend purchasing a metal case. This will easily withstand the heat. I would suggest looking at Hammond Mfg. They make some really nice die cast aluminum enclosures in a wide variety of sizes, with or without mounting flanges and with or without sealed covers. Here's a link to what I'm referring to: http://www.hammondmfg.com/scpg.htm If you are looking for the case to remain as cool as possible, I would use an unpainted enclosure. Otherwise, a reflective heat shield would also do the trick to keep the box from getting hot if that is an issue.
