    Easy to make a new bracket for this. Use the existing bracket but bolt on to the bottom bolt of the aircon cooler, then a piece of 20x3 with a bend and a couple of holes and your done. Just be carful when removing the plastic clip from the end, it breaks easily. If you don't have this pipe supported it could fail from fatigue.

      There is enough interest for me to order a batch of brackets. It will take about a week.

                Reading the install instructions here;
                http://www.daviescraig.com.au/Images...)(20Aug13).pdf

                I get the impression that the "stock" install has the fan constantly running whenever the ignition is on. I wonder how long the fan would last? Maybe another option is to have a dash mounted switch so as it can be activated when required, like when driving slow on soft beach sand, or when scangauge tells you it's needed.

                I aslo note the warning about the fan can only turn in one direction, and the you can reverse it by taking the blade off and turning it around, but the polarity must be set up so as that the fan turns in the direction of the arrow.

I bought the DC0698 for $230 which is a 678 with a 8" fan. It came with hose, relays and fittings but no thermo switch. I bought an inline thermo switch for $40. I also needed another metre of 3/8" oil cooler hose and a 3/8" hosetail joiner.
                  I've found the DC698 kit for $194 delivered on eBay - so I ordered that. But I can't work out where to get the hose, joiner or thermo switch from! Any ideas?

                        Ok, got the hose and joiner from Repco. They didn't have the switch in stock.

                        I've looked on the Super Cheap website and can't find the switch is it there? If anyone can find it can they please share the link?

                        On the plus side the brackets turned up today! So now I've got everything except the switch and enough time to install it :-)

                            I bought this one.

                            http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261368005...84.m1439.l2649

                            Mine leaked a little so make sure you unwind the thermo switch from the body and apply some sealant or thread tape.
