[TR] TR4A IRS Electric Radiator Fan

[tfansher at comcast.net]

Dave, I have the thermostat switch in the pipe.  JEGS also sells the 
thermostats.  I did have to add a male electric connector to the pipe (along 
side the bung) for a ground wire.
After doing that it works great. I started out with a 185 degree thermostat 
in the bung, and the water at the gauge was too warm for my taste, so I got 
a 165 or 176 and it works much better.  Sorry I can't remember which one. 
I'll send you a picture of the set up.  It's on my TR3A with a puller fan. 
Hope this helps

List,
I ran my radiator up to a local O'Reily Auto Parts store looking match up a
cooling fan and found that the Hayden 16 inch fan fit like it was made for 
it.
The fan motor is about 3/4" from the front cross member so it fits in the 
car
pretty well. I posted a link to some pictures of it on my website in the
Progress section.. I have a idea on how to interface a thermostatic switch
between the fan and the relay. RevingtonTR sells a stainless steel down pipe
(P/N 130039SST) with a bung welded in for a screw in thermostat so it is
actually sampling the water temperature directly. They offer 3 different
temperature ranges so I need to email them about that. At least I have a fan
now.
Thanks again to all that commented on my question about the fan.
