My TR3A is still using a manual switch, as I never got my homebrew automatic
switch to work right.  It's a right pain, I'm always forgetting to either
turn it on or turn it off.

For the Stag, I bought an adjustable aftermarket sensor/relay kit.  It came
with a probe that goes in the radiator fins.  I have it near the inlet, but
it would probably make more sense to have it near the outlet.  Seems to work
OK though.
