So what are you trying to do? I'm a little confused. Are you trying to convert the original relay in such a way so that it performs correctly, or are you trying to avoid paying the high price for a correct relay and looking to find some generic relay and do something inside it?

Snowbum has a section on this relay where he talks about modifications about 1/3 the way down this page:
