Bill, that's a pretty slick pump enclosure, never thought of using an ammo box. Do you have a power switch rigged up, or do you just run the cord out the back? You ever have problems with your pump overheating?Sorry for the hijackI use the heat duct insulation stuff. Its sticky backed and has been on my boil kettle and MT for over 2 years and it hasn't budged or burned. Bought it at Home Depot and it was pretty cheap. I even put it on my smoker last winter when I was doing a deer shank and couldn't get the smoker above 150 cuz it was FREAKIN COLD.

It isn't an ammo box, but its close enough. It was used to house a modem that a friend's business used to connect to their inventory software. I don't have a built-in switch but I use a remote controlled on/off switch, like you would use for Christmas trees.I've never had it over heat, but I do keep tabs on it to make sure it doesn't run hot. I'll pop the top every once in a while, which several people states defeats the purpose, but I didn't build the box to make it water proof, I built the box to make it more portable.The pump is resting on the wire box, and if you look at the pics I added some styrofoam for when I have it laying on its side. I haven't put anything permanent in there for that, but don't see a reason at this point. Though I have moved it from what you can see in the pic so it isn't blocking the air fins.I got a pic set at Flickr.Bill, that's a pretty slick pump enclosure, never thought of using an ammo box.

Thanks for posting the pics. I've been thinking about taking the pump off my brew stand and mounting it on something portable. I like the idea of an enclosure of some sort.It isn't an ammo box, but its close enough. It was used to house a modem that a friend's business used to connect to their inventory software.
