    well I am replacing all the Chinese crap relays in installed in my comet. did some real digging and found some industrial relays. I will post soon on how they work. they are 70amp capable, have posts, and are fused.

    You do realize that there's a good chance your new Cooper Bussman relays are made in China right.

    I like the weatherpack GM style ones I get them from the junkyard out of 90's GM cars. They have an O-ring between the relay and connector. I did burn one up running the high speed on my taurus fan, I just run the low speed now and everything is fine. You can usually get a bracket for them off the donor car as well. Here is a pic of them installed in my LS swapped 55 chevy (this was during install its a little more cleaned up now)

    I do like the ones you have mentioned, they do only seem to be twice as much as a standard style relay depending on where you get it and a lot of times they dont come with a connector. I know the ones I use when they are new are about the same price

    Ok the relays might be Japanese. Probably none are made in the US anymore. The unit is assembled in the US.
