When i get some pics ill post up what ive done with my relays and fuses. Ive mounted the relays in where the orginal ecu was located and all the fuses are in the panel under the steering wheel. No problem here keeping the aircon. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Big job but results speak for themselves. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

To get the wires up to the globe box area, will need to pull the heater box out, but it will go back in once done.

I'm just in the process of doing this at the moment. Can you buy a mounting bracket for the relays to clip onto? I've been looking everywhere and had no luck so far

I can't see that there would be an issue. The ones in my Bluebird are mounted that way from factory and the extras I installed with the efi motor are all that way too
