TWD, my transplanted fan from the Datsun is just over 3" thick and would not have fit without moving the radiator, but a thin enough one as you describe would, and prevents a lot of hassle. There is nothing wrong with the manual switch if you are alert to temperature at all times, but the automatic switch is more appropriate for most--if you lend your car, how do you know the driver is as aware as you? To Ingemar, I don't think it matters which side of the radiator the switch is located on as long as it is correctly calibrated for the installation, to turn the fan on and off at appropriate times as I describe mine doing. If it went in the outlet (right side or bottom hose side) of the radiator, a switch should have a lower triggering temperature than one in the inlet side, as the coolant there has been through the radiator and been cooled. Different switches are available that operate at a wide range of temperatures, probably about 160F to 210 or 220F, and a cooperative counterperson should be able to find the catalog that gives these specs. They also have different thread sizes and many will be metric or other peculiar threads. The Chrysler one I mentioned has 1/2" pipe threads and screws right into the bushing in my radiator, and switches at about 175F.
