A standard temp sender is fine.

The best fan is the yellow plastic one.

The best fan is the 16 blade metal one. This is the one that was designed for Australian conditions. :wink:

Actually, Matt may be the fan expert?

i second the metal blade fan suggestion (TheMiniMan supplied one on Cherry and she is noticably happier - except mines not yellow...stewy got a little tipsy and decided he wanted to paint it pink but i managed to steer him in the black spray paint can direction)

also with the thermostat, you can pick one up from supercheap for around $17 from memory, the part number for that one is TT1-180 :wink:

They were painted yellow so people wouldn't stick their fingers in them. :D
