Buy a thermostatic switch and screw it in. They are about 22mm.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

M22 x 1.5 rings a bell to me

I think some of them seal on a soft copper of fiber washer rather than on the thread itself.

I went to a scrapper and got the proper fan switch. 50p bargain

When I was in GSF (German Swedish French?) I asked about a blanking plug - turned out that a switch was cheaper! Now I have 2 thermo switches, wired in parallel - if either is too hot, the fan comes on.
