We (Robotop) could never get our lawyers over the hurdle of the risk of being sued by someone and having to try defend "purposefully and willfully disabling a factory safety interlock" in court.

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to have this conversation... but sure.
I do not have a lawyer here to help me out, however, at the time of purchase, I plan to make clear to the purchaser exactly how the relay was implemented, that this part is a modification of the original and holds no warranty against damage nor does it carry any 'safety interlocks' that the original relay has. By installing this, the users themselves are "purposefully and willfully disabling factory safety interlocks" and should exercise caution and responsibility during use. If you want to put an exact word to it, I'd say it is essentially a waiver spelling out that I cannot be held responsible for damage or injury as a result of using the relay.
Like I mentioned, I just think this is a cool and convenient addition to the car, if people are okay with the accepting the risks associated with installing it, then that's great. If they do not want to, so be it.
