Default windsheild wiper/washer control module/relay

When I got my 79 vette it didn't have the wiper washer control module I have a simple diagram that shows in under the radio and somewhat on the drivers side of the transmission hump, I have both side panels off and the radio out. I have moved all of the wires in and around all directions and still cannot find where the mounting screws go. Is there a mounting bracket missing. can anyone take a clear picture of where it's mounted.

Default module

I do not know if you will get this or not being a couple of days past since you posted your question.It is under your center console on the left side between the shifter and below the radio.Mine was not secured by any fasteners,just plugged in. I am the original owner so it has not been jacked with. I replaced mine with one that is reproduced by Lectric Limited now,cost was 100.00 dollars. It is an improvment over the original which is no longer made by G.M.and if you find an original be prepared to spend some long green also if it is a used one buyer beware. Wilcox Corvette had one for sale was around 450.00 when I was looking but was a factory replacement correct for the car.Not sure if he still has it.

Here are some photos that may help. Mine is also a '79 and this is the original delay wiper module but upon my purchase it was loose in the console. It had a factory CB radio that is quite large so it is possible that there was another mounting location.

The yellow arrow in the first photo shows the single hole that I believe must be the original mounting location.

The 2nd photo shows the module installed. It is also oriented the way I believe it shows in the assembly and service manuals.

The 3rd photo shows another hole whose use is unknown to me.
