In the process of installind Rick Pattons fan eliminator and purchased a 16 in fan off of ebay since electrics isn't my strong point can someone out there advise me where as to attach the 12v red wire to and the opposite side of the circuit breaker to the switch can it be done off the fuse box. Can't figure out how to add the diagram to this post

Because of the high amperage draw of electric fans, they are generally controlled by a relay and usually have a thermoswitch added for convenience. Below is a diagram with a generic Bosch style relay available at any FLAPS in case one wasn't supplied with your fan. I tried running without a thermoswitch, and all too often would forget to turn the fan on and temps sometimes got pretty high. I advise having one with an override, both of which are shown in the diagram.

Together with the above good advice....have the thermoswitch fitted to the TOP radiator tank, and a manual over ride switch in the cockpit.

I don't know. I check in almost everyday and post maybe once or twice a week. I generally just hang out in the Triumph forum.
