Where do you wire in the new electric? Is it always on?

SKP how much is the syclone??

I have electric fans in my fully built 67 mini. It isn't always on. I have dual fans, button operated. You can have them auto temp operated too.

Been on NAM for years, when I ordered my 03 Cooper S. Then did a JCW dealer install. Currently have a 08 MCS that I just picked up. Also the 67 mini is of course in the garage as well (recently did a photo shoot of it, pics in the car chat of this forum). My 08 will get the JCW package as well. I am also on Mini2 forum, which I like better than NAM.
