Hey everyone,
The new switchgear is finally here and installed, so now it's time to add the relays to the circuits. The car's a 1974 MGB with a four-way fuse block. I haven't added any supplemental fuse panels or anything like that, though I have a couple of extra 4-way fuse blocks that could be pressed into service if needed.
There seem to be alot of different options for adding relays, but the part that concerns me right now is where to get the power to operate the relays. Most instructions talk about taking it off of the fuse block using a pretty heavy gauge wire, but they don't give much assistance as to which terminal to use.
The Bentley manual says that if auxiliary equipment is to be added, that it should be connected to fuse terminal B. Trouble is that I can't find a terminal marked B on any of my fuse blocks. Am I missing something?
Does anyone have any other suggestions that might work better? Any photos they could share? I'm trying to keep things pretty simple, just using wire and relays from Pep Boys. Hoping to finish before the weekend's over.
Any assistance would very much be appreciated.
Thank you,
-Bill
