Nice setup Bob.
However it has been my experience that to really make the electric fan run
at its peak efficiency a shroud is required. You can see my setup here:

The picture shows the shroud and the SPAL fan mounted on the shroud. The
shroud is mounted to the radiator on posts, similar to those on Bob's
radiator. My radiator is a Griffin and it has worked flawlessly (highly
recommend it). The shroud enables the fan to draw through the opening and
this cuases only cool air to flow through. At speed, contrary to popular
belief, the radiator still works at peak efficiency flowing the air through
the opening.
The fan is controlled by a thermostat mounted on the bottom hose with a
custom made enclosure that holds the sending unit. This has worked
perfectly for 2 years even in the South Carolina summer heat.
