simonr Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 These have just come back as samples from being anodised. Just wondered what your preference is on red or blue - or another colour. Or are they just too bling for under the bonnet of a Landy? In case you've not guessed, they are Billet CNC Machined, anodised fan thermostat adaptors to go in-line with a rad hose. I think they look rather good! Might even fit eleccy fans now! They need to be anodised to stop them going furry - so they might as well look pretty.

TJ101 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Ditto,, got to be the blue one ,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Simon are you going to be selling these soon? Oh and i like the blue one. Hopefully by the end of next week. Not sure how much yet, depends on the bill from the CNC & anodising shops! I thought blue too - but today the red has grown on me - hence the question!

JST Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Blue or Black (oh there isint a blakc option!) wont matter as it will be covered in mud soon anyway. This is a similar design to the ones i got in plastic at stupid price from demon tweeks, work well though, best way to fit a thermo sensor in my opinion. Why not injection mouled palstic?

bishbosh Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I like the red one....... ...... but I like the blue one too......... ........but I've got a gold one under the bonent already!

I have a black one too - just ruled it out cos it looks like it's made of plastic! Plastic would work, but you need to be making thousands to make it worthwhile - the moulds & setup is expensive. How much are the demon-tweaks ones? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 How much.................. £70 for the plastic coolant pipe connector, circuit board and sender and some wiring. no relays and carp instr. they were the only people i could find doing them. if you do these complete i suggest a decent waterproof storage box for the PCB etc, mine in a lunch box.....

I could retire selling tem at £70! I had figured on £25 for the CNC bit, £30 with a dual fan thermostat (which retails for about £8.20) or £50 for the full wiring kit (waterproof) with a switch to override on and off plus a couple of indicator lights (one for fan running and the other for switched off but should be switched on). It all hangs on the machining costs though! (all including vat) Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackTJ Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Merlin Motorsport do them for £40-£52 + VAT depending on hose size, includes wiring, relay etc but not LEDs or switches. They are aluminium but not machined nor blinged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Si here: Demon Tweeks Thermo £55 i was a bit out then, may be it was £70 after the lunch box and bits and pieces (although sure there werent aht many bit and bobs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If I needed on it ould have to be the blue version, very nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I'm interested, but i can't decide blue or red dual fan as in two stages of cooling? which temperatures does it switch at? I'd only be running one fan on my 200tdi, and have been thinking/looking at varaible output senders, with an adjusting pot in the circuitry. any advice? I was planning 3 indicators, fan on, fan overidden off, and fan should be on, possibly with a buzzer too. and a switch for on off and thermostat controlled.

Les Henson Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I'd like just the cnc bit if possible please Simon. In blue obviously as catflap is blue and I don't want a fashion disaster under the bonnet! Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 If I fitted one it would need to be blue.To be in keeping with my turbo hoses!!! Incidently when Kenlowe first came on the market in the very early 1960's they used that method for the fan switch. Why they changed to the silly thing they use now I din't know. I eat rat poison mike I can cause trouble in an empty house !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
