Hi Matt,
The disclaimer first: I have the deeper V700/early Ambo headlight
bucket.
That said, the relays I used were just regular sized ones bought at the
local Advance Auto. I drilled the hole in the mounting bracket of each
out to 5/16", bent the tab slightly and attached them onto the part of
the headlight mounting bolt that protrudes inside the bucket, one on
each side.
I'll probably mount my horn relay near the horn, under the tank
somewhere. Could hide it in the u-channel of the frame. Cheers,
Charlie

| anybody have any suggestions on where to mount/put relays in the headlight shell? I have used the extra metal pieces in the horn kit (flat pieces with holes at either end 3/4"x2.5-3"). I bent one end to go behind the fuse panel. The other end I mount the relay to. They are angled a little over 90 degrees, so they stay to the outside of the shell and out of the way of the headlight. (these are the hi/lo relays for the headlight). I still need to mount the horn relay. I was thinking of hiding it in the area at the pointy end of the shell, behind the fuse panel, but then it'd be hard to get at. There is only room of the side brackets for the one relay, otherwise I'd double 'em up. Any ideas? BTW, the reason I did not relocate the fuse panel et.al. to the toolboxes is because I am using a repro original wiring harness because I didn't want to have to figure everything out by myself. :) Matt in MI |
