no need to alter any existing wires.
you can see where the groups of fuses get power from a common wire when you look at the fuse rail from the under side.
the diagram in side the fuse box lid also shows the groups.
fuses 10, 11 & 12 all the their +ve power from 1 pink wire that is soldered to the group of 3 clips.
I removed this set of 3 clips and soldered my "ignition on" power wire to the same bank and ran it to terminal 85 on my EFI relay.

I removed relay N from the fuse box as it was nolonger getting a signal to close the circuit to provide the fuel pump power.
I ran a wire from the new fuel pump relay (terminal 30) to one of the sockets that the old relay N sat in.
With a blade connector attached to the wire, I connected it to the socket that has 2 purple wires coming out on the under side.
These 2 purple wires go to the internal and external fuel pumps.

my relays are currently behind the battery so that they are close to the black socket that they need to connect to.
I didn't cut the plug off but instead used a number of male blade terminals and connected my wires.

from there a couple of wires also run to the battery and to earth.

its a bit messy and after I get the car on the road, i'll look at moving my new relays into the fuse box so that its much neater.

the wires under the dash are also easr.
one goes to earth.
2 more I ran around the heater,
this is where I did splice one into the original VL loom for power on ignition, and the other to the EST light for the engine warning light, replacing the old input wire.

on each side of the 3 fuse holders you can see where there are pins that point outwards. from above, you can push a small flat screwdriver down each side of each holder to push the pin back. once all 6 have been pushed back the set of 3 fuse holders all come out together. push the pins out again while you have it out so that it locks in again when reassembled.

yes, the bank of 3 fuses all get their power from the one pink wire, leaving space to add solder a wire as an ignition on power supply to the relay.
The pic in the cabin is all I have done so far there. the 3 wires are just jammed into the plug. I'm going to cut the plug off and solder the wires when I get a spare moment.

I've been working on the dash tonight
