'Nother update before I head out to finish the bracketry and hopefully get the cabin wiring done today.

I changed the wiring on the fan assembly to add a 2-lead Weatherpak connector for the main power and ground leads. The power lead has a fusible link wire at the battery, so fusing isn't an issue. I'm going to make up some spare fusible links just in case something goes downhill in the future though. Anyhoo, I also added the indicator lamp's signal wire to the A/C and IGN leads and replaced that connector with a 3-lead one. Now if the fan ever has to come out for any reason, it's as simple as disconnecting these two connectors, the temp sensor connector and unbolting the brackets from the radiator. I'm trying to design this with a professional appearance and future maintenance in mind, and so far it seems to be coming together fairly well. The real test is when I fire up the engine though...
