Here's the goodies, I'm going to try out a Davies Craig fan controller #0444and see how that goes.
Option 2 is a Tridon TFS206 which should screw straight into the sensor port on the left side.

Very nice. You need to mount them on a bit of marine ply or aluminium plate that is spaced out from the radiator marginally so you are drawing air over the entire radiator and not just 3 spots. But I bet you knew that.
I wasn't running an a/c so I removed the entire belt driven fan bracket and a/c compressor and fitted a shorter belt. This gave me more room behind the electric fans.

You're not going to use the existing electric fan controller that switches at 105*? You said you were going to have the middle fan running continuously, just run the other two off a relay fed from the blue wire that powered the old a/c fan.

Nah not running continuously, I was thinking the other way around, running the centre fan off the existing electric fan feed, then the other 2 off another controller or dual thermo switch.
The trans cooler is on the passenger side so there is a bit of fiddling to do to run some hose.

As an update that I likely posted in another thread, I ended up running a Taurus fan so upped the relay on that to a large Jaycar unit. You could run that to supply power to the two other fans in parallel. Also to reduce temps in summer I will supplement the low speed mode of the Taurus fan with a cheap mechanical switch, Hayden brand I think it was, about $30 posted off Amazon - will set it at around 100*C at the hot end of the radiator. Reason for this is to reduce amp draw from the Taurus when it spins up as it will be already running and as my trans cooler is in front of it give it a bit of extra cooling in traffic before the fans cycle on.
