What info are you chasing mate?

Size? 14"
Brand? Repco special :roll:

(unsure of the actual brand name)
Mounting? I used to little mounting arms and rubbers supplied with the fan then tech screwed them to the bracket on the side of the radiator
Wiring? I have mine set up on a relay and a switch on the dash so it can be switched off for water crossings. Then have a temperature switch so thermo will only come on when engine starts to get above running temperature
temp switch? the switch i have is an adjustable thermo switch, takes a little bit of playing around with to get temps right but i find it works ok once set up corectly.
Reliability? Mine has only let me down twice and both times were due to water getting in the crappy fuse holder supplied with the thermo fan, changed it to a water proof holder and hasn't let me down since.

I found one from a wreckers- on the ground but it possibly came from a camry? Perfect fit, shroud went to the edge of radiator. Sucks way more air than the supercheap aftermarket one...

Fitted a single thermo with shroud (choped to suit) from an AU Falcon to mine, controlled with an adjustable temp switch. Seems to work ok.
