69E Engine Relay Panel Photos Please

[t6dpilot]

I have a 69E that I am tidying up the wiring in the engine compartment. It does not have the plastic cover that my 71 has and I wanted to install one to protect all the relays and fuse block on the panel. As I started looking closer, I noticed that the panel and chassis does not have provisions to mount the cover.

I am inclined to think that the 69 did not have a cover for that panel - is that correct? I cannot imagine that Porsche would leave those open to the environment, but I am not expert on this. I believe that the 69 parts manual shows one for that area. If that is correct, then how did they mount the cover? Does any one have photos of their 69's (preferably an E) that they could post to help guide me? I would like to see that area without a panel (if one was originally installed) to see what the stock wiring would look like. I am trying to tidy it up and give that area a factory style of look.

Thanks for the help.

There was no covers for these in 1969.
Not even is 1970

My 1969 911E has two little covers. It is the fuse box at the front near the car battery, right. Each cover covers one-half of the fuse box. There is a screw in the center of each cover.

Bob,
Thanks for that clarification - it is kind of what I figured.

SP2,
Yes, the fuse boxes have two phonolic (or plastic) covers in the trunk. I am refering to the relay panel/shelf in the engine compartment.

Does anyone have any photos that they would like to share with me? Here are a couple of my 911 engine compartment. Sorry, but they are not the best.

This is mine, looks similar to yours. I believe Haynes p. 206 top has what they call a "typical" illustration, but the illustration may not be exactly like our 69E.
