Hi all

I just spent the evening researching the archives so that I would not have
to bother you with this question.  Unfortunately, I can't find the answer I
want.

I am replacing the viscous coupling fan with an electric front-of-the-rad
mounted fan.  I picked up a BMW fan at the wreckers on the weekend.

I do not want to go the route of manually switching the fan as it appears
many have.

For those who have done this conversion and used a thermo switch, what kind
of switch did you use?  Where did you get it?  Cost? What temperature?  As
my thermostat is 190 F, I presume something under that temp is appropriate?

TIA
