Overdrive relay

Whitey889J · Jun 12th, 2020, 10:15

Hi,

Is there anyone with a 142/144 or 145 with a factory fitted overdrive of 1968 vintage who would be prepared to take a photo of the position of the relay in the engine bay please? I'm in the process of retro fitting a d type overdrive to my 142 and I would like to try and get the position of relay correct before I drill any holes.

Many thanks

Ian

Does your car have a pressed steel bar bolted to the inner wing with relays on? OD relay likely to have been added there when the OD was fitted. Just guessing.

Hi Derek,

Thank you for the reply. The two relays currently on the car (headlamp and ......) are screwed directly to the bulkhead rather than the inner wing. I will take a photo when I get home from work to clarify the existing arrangement.

Please see the attached photo of the existing relays as described earlier. Having wiped the bulkhead with a rag I see there are already two holes in that would accept the overdrive relay. The question is whether this is the correct position and I would be grateful to anyone who could answer that.
