Indicator relay position.

I am having an issue correctly locating the indicator relay as a google search is a bit vague . Does its replacement have to be a specific 4 post relay or a 3 post ?

the relay on my 73T is reached for removal by pulling the clock out and the relay is sitting right there.
The rubber base id located in a hole in the inner dash and if you pull it all out of the location you can get the relay out of the base. It is NOT and easy pull-out fit!
Your year could easily be different.

Thank you for the information, I was hoping that its would be in the bonnet or boot area but will check behind the clock.

You can also get access to it from the front bonnet, behind the fan cover.
I think 1970MY is a 4 post relay and some replacement ones work fine. I know later model years, including my 73, have a flashing handbrake lamp when the handbrake is pulled but I don't think this is the case for 1970MY. I bought a 4 post relay from Eurocarparts but it wasn't suitable for 1973MY due to this handbrake lamp feature. It should be fine for 1970MY though.
I have the relay somewhere. I will dig it out and send you a PM.
Kind regards

Thank you Gitesh, your approach might make it easier for access so I will try that first and thank you for your observations about the 4 lug relay.
