bueler, bueler
Might sound like im being a dick, i dont mean it to come across like that.
Measure the free area of rad that a fan could sit, then look up spal fans think thats how you spell it, and get one as close to as you can. they are very powerful etc

Cheers chaps. Ebay special i think. Anyone know what the CFM rating is of the 172 fan?
why are you looking for something new? Should I be worried about the GTT fan I'm using on my 172 rad?
the 172 is massive, it hits my gearbox
Andy is getting good at squeezing large objects into small almost inaccessible areas
I've got a Spal fan on mine now, standard Valeo radiator too. Plenty of clearance from the engine.
Andy, I've got my C1J water pump temp sensor welded into a pipe which is plumbed into the main rad, well, the upper most hose. Seems like the best place for it I guess. I'm thinking you could do the same with yours
I've only done it this way for now so I that I have some sort of an idea of the water temps actually are.
The accuracy of the temp reading from here is another matter but I wouldnt thinks it too far off
I would like to measure it from the water pump itself like the C1J but with the F4R water pump slightly tucked away and driven by a belt, installing a sensor in that tightish area may prove a ball ache I'm not willing to undertake.
I think its more of a case of having a dash guage of some meaning showing me a reading more than anything
