Picture request - relay holder position under scuttle?
I am looking for photos showing how the relays are fixed under the scuttle. Does anyone have any photos? I am planning on making a holder from
aluminium but wanted to see how other people have done it before I buy anything.
Cheers!

No pictures, I got a bracket that holds 4 relays off a range rover.
I needed an additional one for the ECU, just bent a U bracket from an off cut of Ali and two little nuts and bolts.

You can buy Interlocking relay sockets that clip together like Lego they also come in versions that have a built in slot for blade fuses.

A couple of pics showing mine. I made an ally plate fitted between the scuttle hoop and top chassis rail. All relays and fuse holders were secured
to this with the wires grommetted (sp?) back through the panel and secured with loom tape (don't fit the loom tape until you're 100% sure
it all works and you don't need any more wires!) and p-clipped to the chassis. I chose to fit them under the scuttle for protection from the
elements, but it does make them hard to reach if you need to.

I did the same...
I bought some ripnaults relay holders and mounted them on the ally. Relays and holders I found cheapest from ECS electrical in Southend - phone them
and tell them RS are cheaper and they will price match it

Mine is a bit more complicated than most, Kliktronic, power steering and bike electronics.
Hope it never goes wrong

Relays have a metal mounting strip which is rivetted to a bit of aluminium angle.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.
