Couldn't find any mention of it either.
I did find where Tom (sycarms) mentioned that you want to keep the rectifier cool, either in a big box or mounted outside the box.

Neither item needs to be weather proof. There's nothing exposed to get damaged other than the connections. Both can be damaged from over-heating though.

maybe soapkarts thread? i recall mentioning in it using pvc strain gauges that have an inner urethane weather seal to waterproof the wiring run into the box. (talking about the threaded wire inserts--normally they're just cheap metal with a coarse thread locknut)
