Just a standard fan control relay. kicks on above 185, shuts off at 170. on the highway, once my temps drop, the fan shuts off.
it'll even cycle off and on in town running in traffic.
just gotta have a thermostat that is at or below the off temp of the controller, otherwise, the thermostat will close and start bringing the temps back up before the fan ever shuts off.

My Mercedes fan cooled the engine below the thermostat. I cheated a wee bit on the controller. I used my EFI system to turn it on and off.

Your mechanical gauge will not trigger a fan controller. There are other places to mount a sending unit without giving up your mechanical gauge.

Buy a factory original part for your car.

Mine is wired hot to a toggle switch. I turn it on when I need it, leave it off when I don't. I can also run it without the car being on at the track to cool it between runs.
This is how mine is set up now....I'd like to use a switch that closes at around 190 and opens around 170. I can use this to trigger the relay and operate the fan....problem is, all of these are sold in kits that have a lot of stuff I don't need....
