mix 'n match glowplug relay...?

Hello,

I am refurbishing or "rescuing" a vintage 110.110 "finny". The glow plug relay in it no longer works and I have to touch a wire directly to a battery terminal with the hood up any time I'm going to start it up from cold.

Recently a very cheap relay part from an 80's 123 (240D) chasis became available (used) and I'm wondering if I could possibly use this as a replacement for my finny. The biggest potential I can think of is that perhaps the 240D relay is too strong for the 4-cylinder 190D engine? Should I just go with a brand new specifically correct relay part, and if so, how much would one cost brand new?

Your thoughts out there...?
