Hi Russ,
I'm facing the same problem on my '70. You can put it about anyplace
under the dash if you want. I'm going to mount mine next to the existing
relays using a small bracket secured by the left most and the center
forward bolts holding the pedal bracket. This will be in front of the
wiper motor. The bracket will keep the relay about a half inch above the
flat surface. Added relays are frequently put in this area for air
conditioning systems. The regular OD wiring harness will reach this area
and also the fuse block. I use the empty slot of the fuse block to fuse the
brown wire to the OD relay in an effort to minimize unfused circuits.
I've also wondered about that connector block in front of the fuse block.
The voltage regulator goes there on the TR250. I've wondered if the
connector block served to hold and connect the wires that previously went to
the voltage regulator in case they decided to go back to the separate
regulator design. I haven't compared the wires to see if they are the
same.
Good luck,
Nelson Riedel
