    Question VT twin thermos into VH 308

    Gday,
    Was hoping some people out there have done this conversion before. I am going to get the old man to help me out (He's pretty Cluie). However any additional info would be most helpful. Have VT twin thermo's (2 speed) with shroud and was wondering about the actual wiring/ thermostat etc, where to attach thermostat to trigger the fans, how to get the fans to operate at both speeds etc.
    Any help would be great.

    isn't the Vt radiator wider then the VB to VS radiators and hence the shroud will be wider also?

    I think for the early girls you would be better to use the EL-AU twin thermos

    Do measurements 1st, plans 2nd and 3rd make a choice.. it's all trial and
    error.

    1. You need the fans
    2. thermostat switch for the fans
    3. relay wiring kit.

    Yeah and how does that finger in the bum work out for you?

    Bugger! Pardon the pun! I had not read anything about the AU Fans only the VT Twins so I got them. So I need a thermostat switch which I mount in the bottom hose or radiator itself? And a relay wiring kit. Can you tell me where I get these items and do you have any part #'s? That would be most helpful.
    Thanks so much for the info, is very helpful. Make sure to wash those hands!!! Cause I do know where they been!
