I have a BT7 with a bad overdrive relay. The correct relay, Moss 542-260 is over $200. The relay for the BJ8 (542-170) is $54. What's the difference in the relays? Can I use the cheaper relay? Thx

Earlier this summer, I rebuilt the relay or actually just cleaned it and the terminals. Its the first thing I'd before replacing ($). You have nothing to lose. Its not complicated inside at least on the MJ8.

Thank you for the response. I think the difference between the relays is that the one for the BJ8 has push on (Lucar) and the earlier BT7 used terminals (screws) to attach the wires.
