Who's got an electric fan setup?

Reason i ask is i bought my zed with a koyo rad,kenlowe fan controller and standard rad hoses already fitted....soon after the kenlowe gave up and was leaking coolant because of the copper probe wedged down the rad hose, so i removed the probe, tightened up the hose and had the fan wired to stay on full time (temporary fix).Anyway just bought some aftermarket radiator hard pipes and was previously thinking of fitting a sandwhich plate fan controller in the top hose but this is not possible now because of the metal pipes......so i was wondering what types of fan control you guys have got and where do you take a coolant temp reading from as ive got a gauge wired from the top hose sandwhich plate (rubber at the mo) and i dont want to lose this after fitting my new pipes.

 

thanks James

    you need to taptap taparoo into the hardpipe. Take it to a metal works person to weld a bung with the correct thread size to fit your probe/sensor whatever it was u needed in it.

    Surely the top hose isn't metal :confused:

     

    Any pictures? I have a stainless bottom pipe and a silicon top pipe with a boss like Z nut suggested. I've heard you can drill in to the top water hose and tap a thread in to it and fit a sensor there.
