Relay Can mounting

[yusef]

Hello,

Can someone show me a photo of how the two relay cans on the 69 2000 are mounted under the dash?

Thanks,
Joseph

They are mounted high, towards the front, on the left sidewall of the driver’s footwell.

Is there a bracket that holds them? Mine are just hanging from the wires now.

If memory serves, the metal part of the cans snap into a bracket fixed to the sidewall with what look like protruding metal fingers.

As I recall, the screw is the ground and needs to be clean and tight to bare metal for best performance. It can get rusty up there.

So I determined my relay cans don't have the little mounting stud attached to them. Is there a source for relays cans that have the mounting stud?

Thanks,
Joseph

Or a Niles can. High shipping though.

Thanks, bit spendy for a flasher can, but at least they're available.

Not if you buy two or more and you get the original type can for the car. Only difference is the hazard can was gold colored. I bought some from Thailand along with a couple other parts. They were exactly what I wanted.
