Any reason to not put my fuse holders on the engine side of the firewall?



Is the heat too much?

I'm planning to do the same thing, mounting small 6-circuit marine fuse 

panels for the FADEC circuits relatively low down where the at-rest heat at 

least will be lower. Given that many modern cars have fuse/relay blocks 

mounted in the engine compartment where it gets at least as hot as an 

aircraft I expect them to be reliable but like you I would be interested to 

know if anyone has knowledge of heat problems with quality components on the 

engine side.

I'll be doing the same, but not too low as to absorb heat from the

exhaust. There are several fuse holders sold which have stand off mounts

that would have good application on a firewall and still allow air

circulation behind them. I like the durability of the B & C blocks, but

they lack a stand off mount and covers. A good cover is important to

keep out dirt/oil from the engine. A quick search on Google will reveal

a number of nice fuse block holders for all weather use.



I can't imagine an issue with installing on aircraft what is internal to

millions of automobiles sitting in boiling NYC traffic day after day

with no altercation save the massive CO2 release.



I believe the trick is to buy a well made product, perhaps for marine

use which is really heavy duty and further resistant to heat, dirt and

the like. 



If anyone finds a good link, please pass it on.

I purchassed my from all places Dogbyte Computer, in Marietta, Ga;

www.dogbytecomputer.com.  It's a Blue Sea Marine  Blade Fuse Block - 12

circuit-No Negitive Bus, with cover (#5029).They also have a fuse block with

a negitive bus.  I opted for no negitive bus for I'm using B&C's Ground Bus

architecture.



I mounted mine just to the left of my battery (building a 9A) and mounted

with 4 #10 screws with nutplates.



Worked for me...

Good Evening longg,

  

 For What It Is Worth, Beechcraft has mounted a fuse block on the firewall  aft of the engine in their Bonanzas for at least thirty years.
