I made a cover for my Doghead relay mod.

I made a cover for the Doghead relay mod that I did to my 84 M1028 today.
I got a 2" round schedule 40 PVC cap at the hardware store for $1.49. I trimmed a piece of the cap off with a Dremel to make room for the wires.
I mounted the relay using 1/4" x 2" bolts. The cap fits nice and snug over the 2" long bolts. I know that others have covered the terminals with liquid electrical tape, this is just 1 more option.

Not tying to be negative, but why?
I know of several CUCVs with the Doghead relay mod without a cover with no problems, and have never heard of needing a cover before.

Why would I want to cover the studs that have voltage running to them? To prevent anything metal from touching them.
I spent a lot of time reading about the Doghead relay mod before I did it to my truck. I noticed that many people cover the studs with liquid electrical tape. I thought that this cover would offer a little more protection and keep the studs clean.

Here's another simple choice. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-85684?seid=srese1&gclid=CPKy6qSNt8UCFZaRHwodKJsAzg

Any protection is better than no protection.

Here are the original style battery cable connector covers as well as the alternator wire covers(can be used on the DH relay studs). http://www.waytekwire.com/products/1423/Battery-Boots/

Thats one nice solution . I covered mine with tape & a plastic mug which I cut a bit shorter & made room for the cables
