The relay is in the same location for both RHD and LHD cars. Series I's have a
horn relay in the same location as the OD relay on later cars. Sereis II and on
didn't use the horn relay. I've never had a Sereis I with OD, so I can't really
say where the relay was mounted in relationship to the horn relay.
