electric fan relay

Ok so I retrofitted an electric fan on my mustang and the relay that has come with the hayden imperial controller has burned out. I guess that the 30 amp rating is not enough capacity to handle the inrush current on start-up. One of the car magazines posted an article using the hayden imperial controller part # 3647. They said they also used a heavier relay made by Bosch part # 0 332 002 156 which is rated @ 75 amps. I cannot find this relay anywhere. Does anyone here know of a supplier who might carry these?

Thanks

The relay on the controller is rated at only 30 amps and will not be sufficient for the new fan so we purchased a 75 amp rated Bosch relay (0 332 002 156) for $30.

doesnt have to be Bosch, any 75+ amp rated relay will do, go to your local parts store and find one
