Default Relay holder, where to find?

I'm looking for a holder like a factory setup to hold about 4 to 5 relays. I can't seem to find anything, maybe I'm using the wrong wording? Something new or maybe something out of the junkyard? I am close to a local LKQ yard. Any help appreciated.

Is this something like what you are looking for? It will control engine, trans, Fans, and A/C!

Something like that it's for my 4 nitrous solenoids and standalone pump and maybe 2 other things. It's all wired just relays are just hanging there. Looking to make it cleaner. A/C and fans I already have it done. Thanks.

we can fit 6 relays and 12 fuses in that setup.

We can also custom build it for you, but to do so we would need you to send us a diagram and there would be about a 5-10 business day lead time on the order.

Price would be in the same general area as that item.

I honestly wish I found the BP years ago when I was doing mine.
What I used, but had to piece together fuse/relay panels:

If you want something factory ford uses then in a lot of their vehicles. Check out like an 01 taurus/ sable or other years that body style, should be one underneath the battery box.

I bought this relay box... just over $100 and it is super nicely done. It is small and uses mini relays.

The builder can make it ground - triggered or 12V+ triggered, etc.

Bill, I've tried to call a few times and you must be a busy man. I've got a few questions about the relay box. I'm building a '80 Firebird with a 6.0 6 speed. I see you sell the bussman sealed box, could a person get that fuse box set up for the DBW LQ4? Price on it?

Fairly recent Jettas and Passats have pretty decent computer boxes on the driver's side near the windshield. Kind of hard to get out, but might be worth a look.

Fbodys and late 90's cadillacs use the modular fusebox BP sells

Surf mouser.com for the delphi stuff, the fuseblock section is massive

Blazers and Jimmy have nice relay set ups on the firewall. IIRC, each one has 3 Bosch relays on them. If you need 6, you could mount 2 side by side. Mounted in another vehicle they look factory stock and LKQ will have them.

Thanks for the info guys, I went to lkq and found one out of a Lincoln, holds six relays and compact enough for me.
Holds: stand alone fuel pump (for nitrous) 1
Nitrous 2 (have 4 solenoids)
Fans 2
I have one relay in engine compartment just hanging (unknown)
Total six, perfect.

If you just want relay strips, check out GM mid 90's mini-vans. Several have 5-7 relay strips in both the older oval style and bosch square style. They come with tin strips to mount them anywhere

It would be good to find one a little closer. That one is in the UK.
