I used that set-up when I added FI to the engine in my -6. They work great, are small, and easily wired.

@914forme - Stephen, I'm a total newbie when it comes to all this electronics stuff and the guy helping me with the Arduino took care of ordering all the parts, incl. the relays. I'm quickly coming up to speed, but certainly have a way to go. So:

For my application, I need 8 relays. The only "nice" relay panels I seem to be able to find, like the one you pointed me to, all have spots for fuses, which I don't need or want, given I'm trying to conserve space.

Do you know of an 8 or 10 relay panel that's JUST for relays? I've searched the best I can but so far, all I find are the relay/fuse combos.

Continued help appreciated.

Hey Chris! Didn’t mean to be the bearer of doom...busy weekend though, I’ll give you a ring Monday.

This think can fit 10 micro relays. I’ve used them a few times and been happy.

Mess 'o wires got you down? No problem - just hide them!

I worked up an initial version of a fuse panel cover. Only took three tries to get the bends to work out and have all the mounting holes align! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

One plane on the left side (out of view in this pic) couldn't be formed as part of the main panel so I'll fab that and weld it in. Pics once that's done. Then it's on to making a foot rest that ties from the floor up to the lower mounts of this cover.

And here's the whole contraption in place. I need to get back to focusing on things that'll make it run.
I'm targeting Sept for its maiden voyage under its own power. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Wish me luck!

I used this range
https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/mounting-bra...lar-system.html

Not sure if it is available in the states.

Here is a pic of my install in progress....

The electrics are centred underneath a hinged passenger side footplate.

You can see more in my Scottish Reincarnation thread.

Loving your build - oh for those fab skills......

@wysri9 @914forme @jd74914 - Thanks for the info, guys. As mentioned, I'm still early in my electrical learning curve. My requirement is for a panel that supports 8 - 10 relays while being as small as possible - and I don't need add'l fuses. After a bit of searching, it seems I'm best off building what I want from a base starting point.

I found the Bussman 15310. It's a 60 position panel that can be configured to support just what I need, with room to expand, should that need arise.

I happily confess I wasn't aware of the Micro and Ultra Micro relays and what they mean to the overall size of the final unit. It seems I can get what I need in a ~ 5" x 3.5" x 2.75" box. Yes, it'll sit taller once mounted with space for the harness, but it looks like my best option.

Critiques and guidance appreciated, as always.

More progress. Maybe not exciting to some of you, but VERY exciting to me as my build shows additional signs of life after all this time.

And ignore my comment about what the oil pressure gauge does. I had neglected to plug it into the harness. Once plugged in, it doesn't jump to full reading when first powered up.

That is some high tech stuff you got going on there! The steering wheel controls will be slick.
