Bobber rectifier location

Hi guy I'm just about done building my bobber and I'm doing the wiring. I made a battery box big enough to put the rectifier and igniter in it. The question I have it it going to be a promblem with heat? Any advise or info would be greatly apeciated thanks.

Am thinking these components are designed for at least some minimal air flow for cooling purposes.
And the oem mounting locations allow for at least some minimal air flow.

Although some igniters are unfinned, others are finned, as are the regulator/rectifier combo units.






Would suggest not completely blocking them from any air flow.

Good Fortune!

Thanks I was thinking the same thing about the fins needing air flow. I was also thinking about putting holes in the front of the box ?

Some pics might give a better idea.

But would allow maximum air flow that's feasible.

Good Fortune!

If needed, here's some help about uploading pics.
