Re: [alfa] Radiator fan switch for a GTV

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Bruce:

Don't have a catalog handy, but Jeg's sells such a switch, made by 
Painless.  I've got one in my '74 Spider, threaded into a bung I had 
soldered into the radiator. It was ~$30, and has worked well for a couple 
of years now.  With those temp specs, the switch works perfectly if 
installed in the lower radiator tank, as it's measuring the coolant temp 
after it's passed through the radiator core.  The fan I'm using is a 12" 
Permacool, mounted as a pusher.

Regards,

Dean
