Title: WTB: DB10 relay
Post by: gjz30075 on Monday,February 06, 2017, 12:46:54 PM

Hello,  I'm looking to buy a points style, with cover and preferably with the 90 degree spade connectors, DB10 Lucas relay.

Thanks,

Thanks Joe, but I'm going to hold out for a points one.   It's not ruled out, however :)

I might have a spare points type one, but it wouldn't be a spade terminal one.  Out of curiosity, why are you wanting the points one?  And you know that you can "hack" your own with a pair of double pole double throw relays?

Roddy, I do know that but not ready to do that yet.   A British car repair place near me won't ever buy electronic relays again, after too many
failures.   He sticks with points style ones.   This relay is for my '72 Elan.  Access is near impossible.   It has to be right the first time.  He's finding
new electronic relays with undersized capacitors, weak solder joints, etc. 

I realize I'll be buying one without the spade connectors because the 90 deg spade connnector, that the wire is connected to, is screwed to the relay 'spade'.
