[Opcom]

I replaced some relays in the Tucker, but I'm not happy with it or the work's appearance. They don't make the olden style as shown any more, and the new ones I put in had to be mounted ugly and the wiring had to be spliced and is very ugly. I don't have a picture of that but it's an abomination and even though it's out of sight it bugs me.

The pics are of the old relays and the metal plate they (the new ones now) are on. I want to maybe get rid of this and put in a DIN rail on the inside of the cabinet wall with 5 plug-in relay sockets and do it that way, also avoiding future wire cutting and slobbering when replacing the relays. It will fit front to back just below the lower line fuse socket (white ceramic on right).

I'd like to ask opinions before I do this because it means severing about fifteen #12 wires and rerouting them.

Has anyone ever used DIN rail to hold relay sockets? pros and cons?
