Upgrade the alternator as well.

You would basically have to run a battery cable to another fuse block for the relays.....

I made a waterproof lid from another part of a similar box then made a silicone seal for it that is removable (ask me how) then used common bees wax around the wires going into the box. It stays bone dry inside. I can not say it looks super cool, but it functions all the way through a sloppy Iowa winter.
ok I will do my best to find this

@ every one else i plan to upgrade the alternator as soon as I can find something better then stock no luck yet.

this little project has been frustrating but I want to get it done correctly. thanks for any and all input so far. i don't want to bag this project.
