Perkins Prima 50 Relays

I am currently replacing some of the wiring on my Perkins Prima 50, there are 3 relays mounted on the rear of the engine that I am looking to replace. I have the part numbers but can anyone help with any specs on the relays that would help in identifying an after market replacement that I can use to keep the cost down.
Thanks
Russell.

Re: Perkins Prima 50 Relays

Most relays are off the shelf items and have functional diagrams/specs scribed right on the housing. Got pics?

Re: Perkins Prima 50 Relays

You won't find them at the auto parts store. By the part number, yours are the larger Lucas 33ra relays and not the smaller 28ra relays commonly found on automobiles. They are also 24 volt. Probably 40 amp. Google and that part number will take you to a seller of originals or a cheaper replacement. If you wanted to go to the trouble, you could rewire with the cheaper and much more common 28ra 4 or 5 pin relays. These are SIMILAR to those used in automobiles to control heat and A/C and horn. You would need 24 volt versions of the relay. Which area available, but not common to automobiles.
