P&B (now Siemens) makes sockets for the relays (part number VCF4-1002), and socket terminals 26A1348B (14 gauge)and 26A1348C (12 gauge). They will interlock with the DeLorean relay sockets and look like the factory put them there. These are available from industrial electronics supply houses. Probably a whopping $2 each. The terminals are a few cents. Siemens also make an excellent replacement for all the factory relays except one (I don't recall which) and they only cost about $5 each. They have a much higher current rating (40A) and plug right in. See Darryl's excellent article at http://www.dmcnews.com/zine.html issue number one for more details and part numbers on the relays.
