Tips or tricks to clean up this relay area


Recommended Posts

My car is a 1970.  I installed a 75 harness since I have upgraded a lot on the car.  On later cars there is a bracket spot welded to the fender to hang the relays.  Since car is a 1970 I don’t have this.  

Just curious how others have found ways to hang then and clean area up

i know they sell the relays that have a mount tab on back, and may get that type if I can find no solution for these relays

Those three holes on your inner fender are for the original round relays--one for the horn, and a second one (not on US cars) to hold the relay for the optional (in Europe) fog lights.  Mike G's idea is a good one, except your relays don't have the attaching tab for a screw. 

 

Two other possibilities: find one of those relay holders from a squarelight parts car and bolt it in place on your '70  The relays you have will sllide into the slots on the holder.  Other idea:  velcro the relays to the inner fender.  I've had a three gauge pod atop my dash velcroed to its base since 1987 and it hasn't come loose yet, despite numerous autocrosses and a driving school...

Attach a strip of metal to the holes to the right of your brake reservoir. Attach relays to that strip. This is how midnight motorsports set up my car prior to me purchasing it.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
