Was really quite simple, no wiring needs to be changed, there is enough slack to just turn the fuse box around.

The fuse box is a "modular" sort of thing and mine was originally an irregular shape but I jiggled it around and clicked on an extra relay base from a spare fuse box, this makes it rectangular (easier to cut hole in body) and gave me the extra relay for my "hot start" (ignition switch only switches a relay now).

Fuse box located with two small brackets and Sikaflex then it's just a matter of finding a suitable electrical enclosure box and cutting the bottom out, bit more Sikaflex and job done!

Not very good at getting the camera out during my little swarays but have found this snap of "Mk1"

looks like I added two extra relays (start and a spare) and a fuse to square off that corner.............





Paint was sort of blistered under the bonnet (don't think too much time went into prep in these areas) and a couple of spare holes too lose (chassis plate had to be moved) so I satin blacked under bonnet.
