Default Relay bases (from NAPA etc) that fit in the box?

Anyone know of a relay base that will snap into the stock box? Id like to add another relay or two and keep it as neat and central if possible.

I don't know where to get any, but I am currious what your going to use them for. Plus you get a free bump this way.

Short term, SMT6, Zeitronix, and the Profec. Long term, im looking at Megasquirt and that will bring coil packs with it

I want to wire it up so the Profec comes on ONLY when the car is running. If the car isnt running but it has power, it sits there cycling its stepper motor which is quite noticible and kinda annoying.

I dont like stringing other stuff off the power wires for the stereo, DME, etc.

Scratch the NAPA idea, I decided to check PET and the price of the actual relay bases (aka relay carriers) seems to be $6.50USD from German Auto Parts. Ill just get a few of those.

Part Number is 928 610 511 00 for anyone else whose curious, and it seems to be one size fits all (it takes the sunroof relay and AC relay).

I set about 4 relays in behind the glovebox, switched by a feed from the radio wire (hell, it's only a signal to switch them on/off), and then the actual power comes straight from the battery.

Get a couple of holders which "hang" and a thin piece of ally/plastic, and screw them on up there!
