    temp switch and relay

    Now Sorted ..

    Does anyone have a lead to a supplier in the UK of a temp switch and relay kit for an electric fan set up.. 185 to 200 degrees..

    fed up seeing stuff being sold as if its in the UK when its actually in china ..

    alternatively a make and part number for a suitable sender and switch relay so I can make up my own, been searching for ages and wasting time..loosing the will to live..

    fan temp switch from speedway, part no. 91064026-185

    use a 40 amp relay, just go to motor factor and get one or buy one from ebay and wire it up. https://www.t7design.co.uk/products/...en-4-pins.html

    we also do this one with an m22 thread but you'd need to solder a boss into the radiator.

    Ian,put it on a manual switch until you recieve the one for the head, at least you can drive it in the meantime.

    Why? Surely it's a 30a relay that's required now and for the future, just the switching method will (might?) change? And what wrong with the Chinese?

    i'd agree a 30a relay should be fitted now even if you use a manual switch to turn it on and off. then when the correct temp switch is fitted you still also have a manual override for emergencies.
