It's a 1990 VW Scirroco radiator if that helps. The hole size is 1/2" ips nom. See 2nd pic with 1/2" PVC nipple threaded in. It would also require an o-ring or gasket to seal. Any idea's or should I head to the junk yard? TIA, Kent

Good one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) And Cap't, it does appear to have a raised flange for washer contact.

I was speaking of the flange on the plug that could be used there. The fan switches have that sealing area incorporated in the design. To answer the switch availability issue, the VW OE or OES switch would probably be best because it's readily available in a variety of temperature ranges, it's cheap, and it fits without fooling around. The paper gasket works fine, or you can opt for the copper washer. There's no relief for an o-ring, so that would be one of the last things I would look at for sealing the joint. The Cap'n |
