Noel and others who need SPAL fan info.....
I bought the fans from JayCorp. They are a great company to deal with and I would not hesitate to use them again. I got 2 6.5" pullers PN 30100402. A 6.5" fan is the largest that will fit without any overhang on the stock exchanger. If JDM's is bigger I would suggest getting the 7.5" ones PN 30100358.
More info in next post.........

To properly install them I used the fan mounting pin kit. You will need 1 kit per fan. The kit comes with pins, rubber washers, and retainers.
Fans installed......notice the 4 small pins on each corner of the fan.
I hooked them up to a single 20amp fuse/lighted switch and mounted it under my dash so I could turn them on whenever I want. Each fan only pulls like 6.5 amps so I just spliced the wires into 2 main 12 gauge wire and ran the necessary wires to power, ground etc.

I love Vinnies tie mounts, that's the only reason I was gonna order the fans. Quick and easy. I guess since I don't have any little white plugs I just cut them off and solder on my connecting wires or do they give you a connecting plug with open wire ends?
Wonder where you can buy the mating end to the white plug at? It would be nicer to have a connection in case you have to remove a fan for some reason.

Noel,
I can easily remove my wiring harness for my fans. There are 2 prongs inside that white plug (1+ and 1-). Just go to a local parts store like AutoZone, Pep Boys etc and get a couple female connectors. They are the same type of connector that you hook onto 3 prongs of the main electric fan.
Here is a pic of the connectors that go right into the white plug.......
And I thought you Texas guys knew your stuff
Anything else let me know.....

Yea, I got those connectors here at the house, however doing it that way is not watertight and requires taping the plug and input wires to keep the moisture out whereas a correct plug would do the same thing easier.

As a note I wired my electric fan and IC fans this same way and never had one problem even after washing the engine compartment on a daily basis
