[Tigers] heater blower motor

[Steve Laifman]

Tigers,

For adding relays, my cooling electric fan came with a "Bosch" type 
square relay box, and a plug-in receptacle.  Makes a neat installation.  
For multiple relays, a set of relay sockets in 2 and 4 relay capacity 
are sold for these cube relays, and different number of poles and 
switching are available.

This would allow multiple circuits to be switched, including the horns.  
If done with stock restoration in mind, added wiring, rather than 
re-wiring, would allow easy retrofit.  Use appropriate wire gauge 
depending on current in the circuit.

For a real bang-up job, multiple fuse blocks are also easily found.

For a start, the Bill Gegg wiring diagrams are found at:
