I know that i will have to create mounting brackets for it but what size and from what car is recommended/compatable.
I could go and get new stuff from davies but id rather use 2nd hand stuff to save cost.
What have others done, i want to get ride of the belt driven fan running of the water pump. Motor is a rwd bigport 4ag.
Thanx in advance

pretty much any 12-14" from a mitsubishi, toyota or nissan should do. late model ford fans are good also. All fwd cars have them today, so go to a wrecker yard and pick one of your choice! Anywhere from $40-100 you could spend

Thanx for the heads up.
What about the temp setting, when they turn on and off, would it be wise to get a fwd 4age from a corolla.

you could do that. The one off the corolla should be an automatic one, you dont need to modify it if you have the same engine..

I've got a thermo off an SV21 (camry is it?) for $20. Fits nicely onto the radiator.. just went to autobarn and got some of those plastic thready things ($10) that poke through the radiator to hold it in. works a treat. Then got the relay and temp trigger off an ae92 which switches the thermo on and off ($25). Relieves the little 1.6 a heap!!
