RE: Relays again

[Brian Honnold <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

Mounting the relays is really easy,

All you have to do is get one more of those brakets that the fan relay 
socket held by.  Hook all the relay sockets to gether and put another 
bracket on the other end.  You end up with a nice clean row of 6 relays 
right there behind the drivers headlights.  one for fan, one for fogs, four 
for lights.
