Auxilary Relay Block?

I searched and no luck. Maybe someone knows.......

Where can I find a Relay Block to consolodate all of my relays. I have 5. I was considering just mounting them all on the same bracket, but would prefer something a little cleaner.

I was looking everywhere for the same sort of thing.

I found this $40 Hella block, which can be dovetailed to one of their $35 fuse boxes. Nice, but very pricey:

Hella Relay Block

I bought a bunch of relay holders from Painless wiring. They can be dovetailed together and I planned to mount one inside and 2 outside of the stock under hood fuse box.

Then, I decided to try and find another fuse box with relay mounts. That way I could do away with my Blue Sea fusebox and have fuses and relays in one convenient location. EG and EK Civic boxes looked to be a decent size and are cheap, but I gave up on this since I couldn't find good wiring diagrams to get it to work.

Finally, I stumbled across a relay box from a 90-93 Celica on ebay. It has places to mount 5 high quality Toyota Denso relays, it's small and most of them are cut with enough wire to easily add them with minimal fuss.

I found one with all relays on a Celica forum for $20 shipped. The 4 relays alone are worth $80! These relays can be wired the same as any 4 pin Bosch relay for lights, fans, etc. And they'll last far longer than the junk ones you get at Checker.

A great option if you can find one cheap. Fits in the void next to the brake booster and evap box with appropriate bracketing.

Painless has a 6 relay pack for only $290.79!!! Wow!

Thanks for the ideas.

I just went ahead and made a bracket to mount all the relays to, they are together and it is a little cleaner now.
