Is that thermostat switch or switch to turn it on and off?

Somthing I'm planning, can you elaborate about the mondeo fans and how you set them up? Theres lots of those in the scrappers, should be cheap as chips...

Can I just say you can get a plain steel (stainless I belive) from most kit car suppliers for very little cash, and it is almost exactly the same.

I've got one of these hooked up to twin Freelander fans and a three way switch (off, on via thermostat and permanent on).  Works a treat and doesn't leak like the Kenlowe bits they supply!!
