Where to put a relay under the hood

hey folks. Would like to put one or two relays under the hood. I AM NOT BUYING A SPOD thing so don’t say it! Just a standard automotive relay.

Where have you folks hid your relays so they look good under hood? I think stuff looks like crap mounted to the fuae cover but really that’s the only place I can come up with. I guess I could mount it on the underside of the cover. It fits. Someone shock me with a brilliant idea!

 

Come on guys. Anyone?!? This is the second question I have asked with not a single response. I’m afraid to ask but what am I doing wrong?!

 

I thought maybe people were intimidated by my awesomeness.

 

What is this sleep you talk of. (I have a baby at the house... no sleep)

 

I had relays mounted a little farther back, closer to the fire wall, than the photo Ron (@NewImprovedRon) posted. I had 2 on the driver side and one on the passenger side. I'm not a fan of mounting on the fuse box cover either. You can hide wiring (even a ground bus) under the side trim. Note: the side trim is removed by sliding it toward the engine.

 

I got 1 of these, added my relays, did not use the fuse panel part. But looks better than having them all over

That's cool, haven't seen it before, thanks I'll keep it in mind.

 

Here’s what I did.


Made an off set mounting bracket to clear the hood strut and maintain access to the factory fuse box.

Running (5) circuits through the auxiliary fuse box.

 

Here's my relay hiding spot.

 

I just made this up today for someone for electrical components.

 

Where is that exactly?

 

I’m one of those weird it needs to look factory under the hood people. Digging that blower sir!
