Have you got any better pictures of it mounted on the car?

cool fanswitch is a replacement for the standard fan switch. likely to turn the fan on at 92 degrees rather than 98 degrees. although a pressurised cooling system with 30% antifreeze is safe up to 115 degrees.

Just an update...
I ended up removing the plastic bit behind the grill on a PRE 97 bumper.
It 'pings' off nicely when you use a screwdriver and has given me ULTIMATE airflow.
My engine hasnt seen temps over 90 which makes me think maybe the engnie is running too cool I just need to work out if i'm going to stick on some sort of invis mesh setup because I do not want stones to flick up and cluster fuck my rad.

Also, do they actually have a larger volume to them. They look like they are slimmer and longer... What radiator does Fad have fitted to his? That one looked pretty big - bigger than mine.

 perminant for 11months, that must wear out your fan quicker than normal usage of one?
