Specifically for the radiator fan on a Fiat Cinquecento. I've got the fan for a project but don't recognise the sort of connectors on it as I'm used to the Lucas type wiring on British cars from the 1960s and 70s, so I'm appealing for some help.

On the fan there are two male pins, each about 3mm wide and spaced about 9mm apart on the centre line. The sit in a recess into the body of the moulding around the fan of size 16mmx9mm approx which has a narrow section near the top in line with the two pins. ASCII art to follow, showing what it looks like from above, the outer line shows the edge of the recess, the pairs of dashes the relative locations where the pins protrude up to level with the top of the recess :

Around the whole thing a rectangular section with rounded corners stick up about 8mm from the main body with what appears to be something on the side opposite the pins for it to clip to. If I had a digital camera this would be a lot easier hehe

If anyone could tell me what female connector assembly I need to buy I'd be very grateful smile. I'd rather avoid buying an entire Fiat wiring loom ....

When I was building my kit car I used these people for the wiring loom and all the connectors

They should be able to identify the connectors you will require.
