    in the end just kept the stock fan, isolated the issue to a poor contact on the thermo switch, sings away now as it should

      On an ABY with the battery under the rear seat, I would take the feed from the back of the alternator, through the relay and onto the fan motor. Shortest route, alternator will be generating some/all of the power (depending on engine rpm) and the feed from the alternator to the battery is already a high current one.

        Thats what i had in mind or the 12v feed to the starter?

        But from the loom which feed for the switch on the relay do i use?
        The red and black wire that comes from the fan run on, i pressume this is for when the after run system kicks in?
        And the other must be one to use? low/medium and high speed all in one? (red and black wire)

        This leaves a brown wire only?

          Albert, I thought the ABY and RS2 fans were the same

          Or are you talking about going from the 300W 3B fan to the ABY/RS2 500W fan?

          Cheers n

              Perma-Cool fan.

              Been looking at these to replace my current fan (7A engine bay), nothing wrong with the fan except I’m desperate to free up some space to fit a catch tank.

              Any recommendations on the model to go for?
