Re: 40amp relays for lights.. WhereYaGetem?

You can get those nice interconnecting relay plates from the tops of just
about any German built VW's fuse panel through about 1990.  There's always
two or three of them up there (designed to clip on to the main relay
plate) and sometimes more.  All you need then are the connectors with the
locking tabs, or you can just salvage donor wiring from various VW's, like
I did.
