Hi, my '61 MK2 has it's fuse box cover missing - I think it is the one comonly known as 'small?'

Questions are - where can i get a replacement that doesn't cost silly money? (£35 odd seems a lot for a piece of bent steel).

Also, what kind of nut holds it in place (mine also missing)

Will attach photo

Cheers for any advice

Hello Buzz,

the nut is a knurled knob and I think it is captive in the cover?

Have you tried any of the Jaguar breakers?

Please could someone advise - what exactly does the Lucas RA6 relay mounted on the fuse box control please?

I believe the cover does not have a captive knurled knob, that is a separate item. The cover sits over a threaded stud that protrudes from the backplate and the knurled knob screws on to that to secure it.

The only relay I am aware of on this unit is the horns relay.

Hi Buz
Alec and Jagman are correct, the fusebox relay controls the horns. The fusebox cover has a hole in the centre that sits over a stud that protrudes from the baseplate that hold the fuseholder, control box, and relay. A small knurled black plastic knob screws onto the stud to hold the cover in place.
Best wishes, David

Thanks for the helpful comments, guys. I suspected (wrongly) that relay may be for something more vital than the horns...
Cheers
