Re: Elec Fan Radiator Sensor.

Could you put a copper T fitting - and connect a female fitting into the end of it, and screw a regular wet amc temp guage sensor or another 2 wire  wet sensor into the end of it- the type that is normally scrwed into the radiatior- and then mount it into either the water pump by pass hose or heater hose? Guess it sould need to be a 2 lead sensor as the amc temp one is usually grounded by being screwed into the engine casting.
Or just a heat snesor that coudl be tie wrapped thru the radiator fin.?
regards.

So I'm thinking that if I pick up one of the G.M aftermarket wet sensors that trip at 195-200 range they will kick on when the returning coolant gets to the point that it needs the fan on.
