This is a fairly common mounting scheme, and the 68-70 (and maybe 67) headlight relays in our more common type 3s mount by this same method. That's what I meant by the spring clip on top of the case. I think early beetle TS relays were also a large cylinder with this spring clip on top, but they mounted upside-down, ie spring clip on the bottom. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
