I have to figure out which mirror setup to use. They don't seem to interchange and the black box that big relay sits in takes up a lot of space.

I'll take a good pic of the mounting, also. I don't think you can use the black box with the full-mirror setup (both of mine do not).

I'm curious to see how the relay gets mounted without the box.

Here is the relay in the bar in storage (from the FHP Resto doc). That's the original mounting spot (I moved the front power distribution strip when I added the front strobes). I'll take close-ups this weekend.

I was also wrong....I apparently have one of each relay. The one in that bar matches the top one you posted.

That looks like the smaller relay. Is that the one I need to use?

I'm not sure...here's a story.

The rotators park on the bar in the Resto doc pic based on the relay being there. The cam is still there operating the momentary switch on the motor, but if you remove the relay, it just acts like a normal bar.

On the bar I just bought....there is no relay. Right before I took this bar down, I tested everything. The rotators parked on the bar without a relay whatsoever. That surprised me, because the motor and cam looked the same as the other bars I've seen. There actually may be a way to set the switches up to do this on the bars that don't (if that makes sense). I'm not sure why the difference in the relays, but I know that the lower one works (based on more trial and error), and I guess the first one does too (based on my poor memory...it is obviously installed in my bar).

Bernie,

If you have both of the relays there, can you tell me what the size difference is? I never really paid much attention, but looking more closely at the pics you posted....it looks like there's a huge difference.
