What are the Dimensions of the Converter Box in Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter 118158
Question:
Im planning on wiring a European bike trailer/mount to a US plug and will use the 118158 tail light converter. I want to install the converter in a waterproof junction box. Can you give me the converters dimensions so I can obtain the proper sized box? Also, do you possibly carry a box that will work and will accomodate the conveter and associated wiring?

Helpful Expert Reply:
We have a converter # 118158 laying around so I measured it. The box measures 2-15/16 inches by 2-7/16 inches by 1 inch. You could use a small battery box such as # TK2051 to better protect the converter from the elements. The converter will generate some heat so the box you put it in will need to be larger than the converter and it will have to have some ventilation. The battery box is the perfect combination of size and ventilation.
