TF Rodeo radiator dimension 440mm high x 590mm wide.
Did not want to fit flimsy aftermarket product but retro fitted twin fans from Ford Mondeo dimensions 410mm high x 620mm wide.So made a frame to fit over radiator and use existing bolts to fit fans over radiator.
Fitted a thermo switch Tridon TFS111 into a plugged threaded hole in thermostat housing which earths at 90-95C.

Thermo fans are also on when a/c compressor runs.
Fans draw 5 amp each(8amp at start up) when a/c running with high beam + spotlights 2 x100W, alternator not charging at idle. Fans only cycle at idle after slow heavy work ie steep 4wd hill climb.
