What I may do with mine is mount a small pushbutton switch on 
the top of the relay in the spot where the fuse is inserted, and connect
it to a set of contacts which don't exist- I have a box of various Bosch
relays from various Audis, and I can scavange the contacts from one
of them and solder them to my fuel pump relay.

The alternative would, of course, be to purchase a proper one from
a parts supplier, either an Audi dealership or GPR, Blau, TPC,
EuroSelect, etc.

Hope that helps!
