I haven't got as far as building the fuse, but if one were to take Dave's idea
and make the box big enough to fully enclose the gear with a removeable top
panel, would this help keep airflow out of the interior of the pass
compartment? The top panel could also be a nifty tool tray when working in the
area.

Any reason as to why this couldn't be done? Space? Interference with other
components? Not needed as the gear bulkhead already seals the area?
