I'm looking for a switch that I can thread into a nut that will be welded to a section of exhaust tubing that I am using for running my radiator lines to the back of my truck. I would like the switch to turn on at about 180, and then back off at the same temperature.

Does anyone know of a cheap two wire switch that fits these requirements? All the parts stores are clueless, and I'm not having any luck looking on the web. Does anyone know of any common vehicles that would have something like this on them that I could just order?

I only need the switch part, but that is pretty much the setup that I am putting together for my truck. The only major change is that I am also going to wire in place a three position toggle switch to run the fan off of the temperature switch, manually on, or manually off.

I guess I'll search around Summit, as I haven't checked there yet.

You don't have to go to Summit, you can find it at Pep Boys. Hayden makes that kit, you can find it in the section where they sell fans, hose, and A/C parts.

If you look in the summit or jegs catalog they show a replacement switch for those kits then you dont have to buy all the other BS just the switch that your after.
