Also no handbrake like the SEAC's. Many others like this?

Rev I dont know what all the fuss about getting the spade end connections onto the otter switch was all about



I have just fitted the new fan unit
(thanks Mike B ) and have engine cooling once again

It only took about 5 mins to re connect the otter switch


(oh it does help to remove the bonnet first though!)

Thought it was a pic after his shirt and tie after he got too close to admiring the motor

Seeing as how the otter is in one of the most awkward places invented, if and when you re core, seal the bugger up and fit a different method. I have left the harness in place with the overide still working.
