Rad Fan overide switch
Just nearing the end of my build  and am looking to sort a rad fan overide switch, searched but couldn't find anything.
Currently i have a adjustable thermo switch from demon tweeks/merlin but think i may aswell have one to keep her nice and cool if needed.

How is it wired at the moment?
Live to one side of thermo switch, other side of thermo switch to one side of fan, other side of fan to earth???

Well prepared to get shot down in flames, but I would say if you need to override the thermal switch you have a problem. If I can keep my beast
running on standard bike rads & thermal switches with 2 engines jammed into a very small space anything "normal" should work without a
hitch
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

I have to agree that it is totally unneccessary - like fitting two driver's harnesses in case one breaks 
If the right temp range is set, then it works ...... why complicate things?
Cheers,
Raz
When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

I agree... I think. I fitted an override switch and have only ever used it to test that the switch is working! As mentioned, if you need an override,
something's probably wrong in the rest of the setup/

I fitted an over ride switch as in toms (indykids) post pic, used it a few times when the pinto was in when i hit traffic as it did get hot and i was
just nervous of the thermo switch not working.
Got to admit it was probably more my plumbing  as now the zetec is in and i've changed the whole set up temp holds well and thermo switch in
polo rad seems better too.
Switch is still wired incase the thermo fails though, i trust nothing

I guess i wont fit one then thats one less job.
I have tested and bled the cooling system just on my drive and it doesnt seem too bad but i did have bonnet off.
Fingers crossed it holds up alright.
