ok...
im thinking you want a solid block with 2 holes drilled and tapped to fit the sender and fan switch, with a tube eitherside to join into the heater
hose?? letting the coolant through the middle?

pretty much. what i had in mind was a sort of 'match box' size bit of ali, with the holes drilled and tapped.
the idea was to then get this welded onto a piece of ali tube, which has a hole cut in the top to accomodate the ali block

cool, well, i'll get on the lookout for a x20xev fan switch (are they normally in the back of the cylinder head? i might have one if thats where
it is...)
once i have all those, if you can weld it and bead the hoses, i'll send you all the bits? 
mount's not arrived yet when was it posted? fingers crossed for tomorrow!

ah, a very good point. remember that top gear race from lands end to john o groats? think there would normally be a plane bringing stuff up here from
your way. sending by road might take a little longer, ie a day in the sorting office, a day to drive it up, a day in the sorting office here, out to
the local post office, then out with the postie. guess its likely to be about 4 days delivery on post now

A fan switch is best mounted on or close to the radiator.
Easy way to fit a fan switch if the rad dosen't have a tapped holes is an adaptor in the top hose tapped for a M14 fan switch (as used on 1980s
and 1990s Volvo and BMW various swiitching temps available)
Temperature sensor should be on the cylindr head hot side of the thermostat.
