Couldn't you just take the controller out of the toolbox altogether? It isn't really something you need to take home to service often if ever. See how I mounted my controller in a 27 ft sloop, Mounted with simple standoffs with the additional heatsink vanes up/down.
Then you don't need the fan which uses power.
Either way have fun with your project.
Best regards.

Lee thanks I think I'm going to do what you suggested with a proper box and a vent or even a fan

Looks good Phil,
Just ensure the controller is not going to overheat closed up in the tool box as I know you need to keep it as cool as possible.
You could add a better heatsink but the controller should probably be in some airflow with the vanes up/down as heat rises and you don't want to trap heat below the controller.
Cheers,
Lee.
