I will answer several questions.

1. I am very happy with the spal controller.

2. The instructions are included with the controller.

3. The OEM-A/C fan I feel is not needed because when you connect the new fan and Spal controller and connect the A/X-sens lead, the new fan runs at 100% and moves more air than the OEM-A/C fan could.

4. The Spal controller allows you to use the OEM OBDII sensor as the Spal's sensor, so you do not need to purchase a seperate sensor.

5. The installation is not easy but if you do a thoughtful and neat installation it is not difficult. Make sure all your connections are good electrical and mechanical connections and are weather tight. Properly fuse the where needed.

6. The new shorter alternator belt I used is a Gates K040330, which is a 14mm x 855mm Micro-V belt. This is probably as short a belt as you want to use.

7. I manufactured the "L" brackets my self. You will need som flat stock and basic tools to make the brackets.

8. You can probably see in the pictures I routed the wiring harness across the fan shroud and attached it to the insice lip of the shroud with zip-ties through holes I drilled in the shroud. All of the wires that were included with the Spal were long enough. You can see my + battery connection at the + battery post, I made the ground connection at the ground connection on the battery tray.

I hope this answers all the questions. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
