Q: mounting Shunt on trailer tongue & self tapping screw
Hi again
Still gathering material for my projects. I need advice on two more topics. I need to mount the shunt for my BMV-712 on the tongue of my trailer near the battery. I feel like I need to mount it inside some sort of protection from the elements. Does anyone have a suggestion for some kind of water proof/resistant box to mount to the tongue to house it. Or maybe some idea better than a box?
The other item is, what kind of screws would you suggest for screwing electrical things, or boxes like above, to the metal frame. Ideally it would be self tapping because I would prefer not to add drilling pilot holes in the rv frame to my list of to-do(s).
Thanks
Mike
