Thread: What temp to cut in thermos?

I want to mount some twin thermos on the front of my radiator to assist the mechanical fan, whilst on the beach or low range stuff. Is it a case of just getting some ford type thermo's and reversing the wiring so they blow instead of suck or do I need to dismantle and reverse the props?

IMHO just get 2x Calibre 10 inch or 12 inch from Supercheap or whatever fits, as the feature of the Falcon fans is the correct shroud for pull through which you cannot use on the front.

Not all fans are designed to be able to reverse the blades which you should do . Calibre are set up for push. If you do lots of off road , do not mount them via the through fin pins, but either put bars across or make up solid mounts.

If it needs help being an N/A especially, there is something wrong in the cooling system, just find and fix it

Thermo's should be cut and out above thermostat, usually moreso depends on what switch is available to suit the position really, all automotive joints should have a pretty book, with coolant switch with all kinds of temps and threads

Go to the "tridon web site( distributors for dozens of fan switches temp senders etc) to see thermo fan switches, all types of switches. Type in make and model in Triton search bar or search site for "fan switch"
