[TR] FW: TR3A Fog/Spot Light Relay(s)

[Don Hiscock]

Stan's approach to positioning front head/driving/foglamp relays is pretty
common and seems like a perfectly good solution. I've seen relays mounted
to the alloy apron-mounting crossbar between the inner wings, although
there seems to be no particular advantage to that.   I do like that
approach to mount headlamp relays directly to the buckets, Randall --
that's a nifty idea.
