finished mounting OM616 radiator, i had to remove fan so i guess ill be using something small electrical in the front. any of you have advice on choosing fan switch, auto (temp switch) or manual? i think ill use manual switch to avoid auto temp switch failure and problems with high temp.

That's going to be a really clean swap when you're done. Wish all of mine had fit behind the grill!

Are those E-Code headlights I see?

I went with a basic electric fan controller. Would be easy enough to use the fan controller and wire in a manual over ride. I had planned to do exactly this and just wound up not needing the manual over ride - even 95 deg out she ran fine and stayed cool.
