HORN RELAY

[JohnS]

Problem solved.  I converted that 3-pole relay into a 4-pole.  I carefully pried open the little canister and then set a new Bosch general purpose relay in place and encased it all in epoxy.  JB Weld is my friend.

Done with that sucker.  The most expensive relay I ever bought...

 

All for looks?  Ha! 😆 This baby is solid.  I filled it with epoxy before sealing it up.  I think it weighs 1/3 of the weight of my coil.  Solid!

How clever!  Woulda never thought of that.  Yet another little trick for us roundie purists to keep our cars looking stock. 

 

Goes right along with Dave Hoovler's trick for using a MOPAR dome light delay relay to replace the early wash/wipe relays on pre-modell 71 cars...

 

Shade tree engineering rules!
