HI James, Don’t know if this will help, but I ended up fitting a 102/93C Cambiare VE7096. fan switch in the standard housing for varying reasons. Not least running out of time for re-mot’ing the car and having it in my hand! That one has a slightly different range than most, but I find it works well as it takes the temp down a noticeable amount before switching off again compared to the often quoted 103/98C ones. I also found that ebay suppliers frequently miss-represent the connectors and this one had two standard spades, which is easy to DIY replace getting rid of the old ford connector. There seem to a number of different ones that fit the housing and thread, so there is a lot of choice. I also went for the simple approach and just made a short jumper cable to add to the car kit if I wanted to manually switch it on in future if there was a switch failure. But will probably never have one again!
