Thanks Alex, I work for Rolls Royce with jet engines. RB211 engines as fitted to A380,s and such. Im a fitter/inspector so Im spannering and measuring stuff, not the most difficult job going!
Im self taught at welding though, I bought a TIG years ago and its taken me this long to get reasonable at it, its not difficult Im just a slow learner.
Id like to see the stuff you could come up with when you get a TIG!!!
As for the fan switch Im not sure, I think it depends on the temp they switch at. Mine uses Ford switches which go in the top of the radiator. I think the one on my Passat is in the middle so it probably has a lower switching temp.
You can get switches with adjustable temperature, you could set it to what you wanted then...
I did a bit more today, I bought a new distributor with no vacuum advance to use with the bike carbs. Its from Bestek and seems to be very good quality, time will tell though!
Scott.
