Thermostat for my Perma Cool w/ fan... My B&M cooler was not enough for my 4500 stall, so I ordered this Perma Cool with a fan.
This cooler only came with what you see in the pic. I need adapters and a thermostat. I have searched their site and other sites (including tech) looking for a kit with the t-stat and fittings to make this work, and I hit a dead end.
Anyone else installed this? How did you do it? Pics?

What GVW cooler did you have? Ive got a 24'000 and I havent had temps get over 140-150 normal driving and it will go to 190 or so at the track. Why not wire it to a toggle and once you see the temps on the gauge start to rise turn it on.

I think your idea is easiest, since I don't drive the car much, and I can get all the fittings and switch here in town...now I just have to mess around and find the best way to mount this huge cooler...

Another thought is, I dont know when you fans are set to come on, but you could wire that fan into the factory ones and when they kicked on so would that one.

I'm about to jump under the car now to estimate a mounting place. Looks like I can get it on the condensor, with mild fabrication, no big deal. I also plan on deleting the A/C on the next off season, so I'll probably be re-mounting it again...
I still like your switch idea, I have been doing some weight reduction, and I'm installing a panel where the stereo was with all my switches, so I can put it there...
