Does any one know where I can get the same relays and holders as the ones fitted to the rear bulkhead of the 3R's ?

I have a GTO3 but when i needed relays my local motor factors (AV taylors in Newcastle) said they could get me anything i needed if i took in the original. Is there anything local where the guys are helpful. If you really get stuck i can try and help out!

cheers

Try these guys:- www.vehicleproducts.co.uk

I've used them for loads of stuff. Very good service.

I'm not sure if they'll have EXACTLY the same but they've got pretty much everything you want electrics-wise for cars

Thanks but want the same if I can so I can clip it on the end of the rest of the relay bases.

Their just 30 amp automotive relays with split output pins (5 pin as opposed to 4) The original ones were Bosch but Tyco and Seimens make them as well, even Maplin sell them.

Excellent that's the relay sorted now just to source the OEM base/mount that's used. I will see if I can get some markings from the originals.

Do not fit them the same way Noble did, turn it upside down.

Then water won't leak in, or put them inside.

Thanks, am slightly puzzled as these are on the rear bulkhead and when I removed them to add additional heat shielding and removed the engine loom completely they were all in really good condition which was a real suprise as the ones by the ECU I cut out and moved and replaced ages ago as they were corroded to bits.
