I'm going to rewire my car in the winter and I would like to use the AAW Highway 22 and place it in the engine compartment. Since this kit is designed for more in the trunk or inside the car, I was wondering if anyone could suggest some way to shield it from the elements?

My other option would be the AAW Sever Duty kit, but i think its overkill for my intention. Pic of HWY22 and Severe Duty for reference

Bussman makes several nice solutions, Waytek sells them. Get the right seals and pins. I used #15401-2-0-1-0A in my 'Cuda.

The AAW Severe Duty is actually a Bussman fuse panel. I'm looking for something to put the mount in the engine bay and put the Highway 22 fuse panel inside. If I can't find anything I'll get the severe duty...

Does the particular severe duty panel have a power distribution bus?

Kwikwire has 2 weather proof panels. I am using the 14 circuit on 1957 truck project

No, and that's the reason I can't get away from the HWY 22. I can connect a 10ga wire to that stud on the fuse panel and have a small remote power bus. My reason for moving it to the engine compartment would have been just because of mounting out of the way and accessibility. I might just make a bracket and put it in the glove compartment.

I'm partial to AAW, but I'll give it a look.

Thanks

The little Bussmann panel with the power bus are a great option for underhood mounting.

I talked to AA and they don't recommend me putting that HWY22 in an enclosure. So I have to mount it in the glove box or use the Severe Duty. I saw the little Bussmann, I need to to figure out where I want to mount before I make my purchase. Under dash space is not that great,

They are small and fit well in the core support or fender well.
