Presently using the stock coolant temperature switch (MB no. 006 545 14 24) to activate a Bosch aux. fan on a 1970 280 SL. The switch is located at the top of the thermostat housing and activates at 100 deg C. [The T-housing is a tock unit, standard to M130 engines.]

Looking for a comparable switch that would activate at a lower temp, perhaps 95 deg C, to help compensate for the extended heat wave we're experiencing. The engine's cooling system was recently overhauled and upgraded, but the thermal load from the A/C is still taxing the system. MBNA states no alternate switch exists. Anyone have any info on alternate switch availability, perhaps from a different marque? TIA.

I would add a manual cabin switch for those hot days. This also give you the safety factor anytime it's needed.
