Another crazy idea for upfitter switches

Rummaging through the junk pile at work today. I noticed someone threw away perfectly good din rail, and blocks. So I grabbed them, and started to think about using them to clean up the rats nest pass through wires.

My idea is to mount the din rail to an easily accessible area. Take care of grounding mess, and easy upgrade ability.

Here are some example pictures.

are they weatherproof? looks like a good idea

Could be pretty cool, especially if you like to change around what you have hooked to what upfitter switch.

That is the only issue I am trying work around, making it weatherproof.

I think its a great idea. Just gotta figure out a weather proofing solution.
