    Alternative Rad Fan Switch/setup?

    Im in the situation of not being able to active my rad fan. To cut a long strory short, the 172 rad im using does not have a traditional screw in type of switch. Now my ecu may have the option of switching the fan on (cant find any info) or i need some sort of external heat sensitive switch to place on the rad. Any ideas chaps??

    How about T-ing into the bottom rad hose with a metal spacer and get a boss welded in for the switch?

    does it not have the ability to switch a fan on and off? or is that where the problem is?
