Is the relay cover available somewhere? I see that a couple of guys have made them out of fiberglass on previous threads. Who sells them?

That's what they look like.
Black plastic.
Who here has seen a new one back in the day?
I suspect they looked just like that.
I nice reproduction in my opinion.

I have a nice one for the older cars (no 45 degree cutout ).
I'm in Sunnyvale. If you're local, bring a beer and it's yours.

the real ones are a harder plastic. Not thin and flexible.

While that AA pic looks thinner than OE, the OEM ones were pretty flimsy & tended to crack easily at the hold-down post. I think the OEM ones were also vacuum-formed, but definitely looked better than the one in the AA pic.
That 45 degree angle on the top-front was added to make room for the driver's upper 3-way seat-belt mount on later 914s.
