Riki, Pinout is the same but I don't know if the relay would work because of one definite statement on the info sheet where it says power must be present on pin 30 for the relay to cycle. We use a ground at that terminal. With the statement and wording I suspect they are taking a constant power for the timer electronics from that terminal and pin 86 just needs a momentary signal. Would almost need to test a relay to see what or how it does.
There is a similar pin description but not the same must have or it won't work statement for the relay I used. I can confirm the Amazon relays do operate the solenoids on the bench but cannot confirm any extraneous noise found in the car would not affect the relay operation. Since the Amazon relays claim to be automotive relays would doubt that would be an issue but since modern cars are much better shielded than 70 year old Packards that still needs to be confirmed.
Another question needing an answer would be the dimensions since it cannot be any larger than what I measured on the Amazon relay to have two relays fit in the box.
Price wise if they would work, instead of $22 for a pair it would be about $54 for the pair. Might be worth it for the adjustable feature to get the factory spec and to have German made quality instead of Chinese made.
