Mr Gadgets

I need a thermo switch that will close a set of contacts at around 190*-200*.. perferable with 1/8" pipe thread..

Any idea where I might find one?? Auto suppliers have limited resources for looking up other than application.. What kind of car is it?? Drives me nuts!!

Any help would be appreciated!

these are a little nicer but no pipe tape

What you probably want is a thermostatic fan switch.
You know, the ones they use in cars to turn the electric fans on.
I think a KEM RF3 might be in your temp range (at least that's what I found on the internet).

Dick,

I have had good luck getting switches from these guys. You will have to call, the site requires year, make and model. They can help by phone.

Hey thanks guys.. I will check them all out in the morning.. Sorry I didnt respond sooner. I spent the evening boating for a change.. I was actually on the water tuning my new EFI, (that I built).. Kinda cool now that it is coming together. Wont have my WB O2 sensor back from Innovate till Tues.. then I will know if my fuel map is close. Till then I am taking it easy. I did have it to 5krpm at one point...
