[DeTomaso] Fluidyne sensor plugs?

[Julian Kift]

If I recall correctly they are M22x1.5 thread, I used a bung in one of the ports and an adjustable setting temp switch in the other to control both fans (Flex-a-lite shrouded) on/off.

Corey,

They use standard VW/Audi temp senders which are probably the cheapest solution you will find.

I would also caution against skipping the automatic function of the fans. I know of more than one Pantera that suffered a blown motor because an inattentive driver failed to turn on manual-only fans.

One of them was ruined by Jackie Stewart!
