The TR6 only has a place for two relays. If the car came from the factory 
without an O/D unit, the relay that would have been used for it was given 
over to another function. The two relays you have are for the starter and for 
the horns - I don't remember offhand which relay function was NOT used if the 
car had an O/D. You'll have to find a location for your relay. I wouldn't 
recommend rewiring to give up one of the existing relays to serve as the O/D 
relay. The location of the relay is not important - you can mount it under 
the hood near the others, or under the dash, whichever you prefer.
