unscrew yours. The temperature is stamped on one of the hex facets. take that to your local car parts jobber and get one like it. It is a standard car part.
The last one I got from my friendly MZ dealer said Opel Omega on the box.

that was just an example. The switch is used in lots of cars. threads are standardized and usually M10x1mm.

and what does my previous posting say?

M10x1

And why, since you
have already tried this
didn't you simply measure it and look?

My Mastiff only has one. I wouldn't worry about fitting two mate, unless maybe you have a highly tuned motor that might run a bit hotter?

my rt 125 fan has ran 2 times in 5 years both 95 plus f stalled in traffic
i plug the fan into a battery and run it about 3 times a year to keep the grease hot
and make sure it will still run when needed
