RE: typ44 eurolights question

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

Pulling a front bumper on a type 44 is about the easiest thing to do on the
car!  The toughest thing is getting the trailing sections back onto the
sliders on the front fenders ... but that's not too bad once you see how the
sliding parts enagage.  All that you need is an 8mm Allen key to pull the
two bolts that hold the bumper to the hydraulic struts.  

As far as mounting the relay panels goes, water is one thing to worry about,
but one other thing to consider when looking for mounting points is
protection from damage in the event of an accident.  I know nothing of the
Blau harness, but you are probably talking about making a high current
connection directly to the alternator.
