OTOH, most other small relays won't have sufficient

are rated at 50 A continuous that should be fine.
I've been using a German Bosch 40A unit (think it came from an Audi
5000) as a starter relay on my Westfalia camper for 7 years with no
problems, and it's been a daily-driver for 5 of those 7 years. SR17X
starter, manual transmission, and (most recently) a 1.8L GTI engine
with 8.5:1 compression. Since the local pick-a-part yards charge ~
$1-2 for small relays like that (when they bother charging anything),
I've usually got a half-dozen potential spares in the garage at any
given time.
