[s-cars] WAS it's a radiator/aux fan switch - NOW wrap up

[Tom Winter]

Hi all. 

Nice weather in CO and all parts on hand allowed me to make good progress in
replacing the damage caused by my exploded fan and associated shrapnel this
afternoon.

After two hours of work, the new radiator is in and almost everything else
is buttoned up. The shrapnel did a number on some of the wiring, including
the engine oil temp sensor and the aux fan switch.

The shrapnel also put - much to my dismay as I thought I had everything I
needed at the start of the repair process this PM - a small rip in the
smaller of the two hoses that runs from the hydraulic mineral fluid
reservoir to the metal pipe in front of the condenser/radiator. I sourced a
hose from the local FLAPS (with their assurances it would work for handling
caustic chemicals, high temps, etc), but am wondering if there is a specific
hose for this application. This does not appear to be a high-pressure hose.
Comment/Suggestions regarding this hose would be most appreciated. I figure
I can run the hose I bought today to get the car back on the road and get
the oem part later, as the hose isn't buried too deep and it should be easy
to swap out.

It won't take me long to button everything up tomorrow. I'll take pics of
the shrapnel and post them. The belly pan caught much of it and it's damn
impressive, particularly how the fan totally shattered.

Thanks again to everyone who has offered suggestions, comments and
solutions.
