Where can you get the relays that you use for the Lincoln fan?

John,
The Lincoln fan works excellent but you'll need a good relay for it. The
Hayden (and other store-found) relays burn out as the Lincoln fan pulls
about 130amps on initial draw (40-60 after that). We've installed one
on an R/T and it fits beautifully - even installed an aftermarket
overflow resevoir on the shroud (2001 R/T).

Yeah, I have heard about such problems with the BM150. I know some have
tried electric fans from other cars successfully. Is there not another
one out there for us to use? I was looking at some of the Dual fan
options that BM had on their website, but I haven't taken measurements
yet to see if it would fit.........Some have also mentioned using the
BM150 with a low profile one that comes on with the A/C, plus using the
180 t-stat (which I use the 180 in spring/summer/fall)
