Fuse box location and fixing

Wiring loom is now in and I think I’ve solved all the headscratchers for now. What isn’t in is the fuse box and it seems that there’s no mounting point for it. Has anyone got a picture of where it should go and what the mounting arrangement is? I presume it’s one of those plastic blocks similar to the ones that locate the control box?
Car is a 1961 Deluxe.
Thanks again
Gary

Not a very good photo but top left just under the wing edge.

A bit better pic - look for the square hole. A plastic fixing goes in there (like the lights) and a single self tapper holds it in.

Thanks - definitely don’t have a piercing in the inner wing for it. Maybe just the self tappers will have to do.

my opinion without any obvious OE Fuse Box location hole .. connect all your harness wires onto the not yet secured Fuse Box .. that will locate the Fuse Box near enough ..then drill the Fuse Box securing Hole into inner wing to accept the single self tap screw.

Am I right in thinking that some fuse boxes were forward of the rib, or was that just control boxes?
