Actually, I made a mistake when quoting the relay part number. Sorry about that.
When inspecting the furnace I wrote everything down and then chose the wrong part# when posting. The actual relay in question is part# R4222B1082 described by Honeywell as a General Purpose Relay with SPDT switching.
See pg 87 of:

I've been able to locate a replacement on ebay of all places!
The R8405 B1017 part# I originally quoted was that of the blue Honeywell control box with transformer, R, RC, Y... screw terminals wired to the t-stat, etc.
Thanks for your help.
