i used the normal temp switch to run 2 relays running each fan with a supply direct from the battery...

use the normal loom to switch the fans on and off via 2 seperate fused relays ..
run the +12 direct from the battery .. pretty sure the temp switch is -ve switched on escorts

If the two fans have their own seperate wires going to terminal 87 on the relay, just beef up the diameter of the terminal 30 wire, this is direct(through fuse) from the battery would be the easiest way.
