Question 85 300D OVP Relay - old one has 5 pins, new one has 6

Someone has to have been down this road...

Replacing the OVP relay thats under the passenger dash (no tach, AC etc.). The PN on it is 1265404745. Bought it, have it in hand.

But the new one has six pins. The old relay, and the socket have five.

Looking at the schematic, I think I could remove the offending pin from the new relay, its redundant with another pin...but Im reluctant to hack into $50 parts recklessly.

Who's been here before?
