    as topic says, I'm lookin for one to plumb into the cooling, not to activate off a switch, would like it to look as factory as possible to keep the look of the engine bay

    any helpers???

    cheers

    what you want 2 for?

    stock radiator prolly not big enough for 2

    just go to wreckers and find an electric fan that fits on (FWD cars), make sure you get one that has a shroud with it

    prolly wont bolt on, but I'm sure you can figure out a way of making it fit

    while your there grab the temperature switch thing (looks like a temp guage sender, i think this is what you are refering too), find a way to put that into your cooling system, and using a relay wire it all up!

    twin 10" davies craig fans will fit onto a std 86 radiator. you can either use through the core ties,or make brackets across the core and mount the fans to these.
    you can't fit a large enough single fan under the std shroud.

    the easiest way to not use a switch inside is to tap into the top hose with a sensor block and drill out and re-tap it to suit a factory fan switch,then relay that as has been suggested from an ignition power source.

    the davies craig switches that sit under your top hose at the radiator neck look ugly,but DO work pretty well. they're adjustable as well,which is handy for system setup. consider that option also.
