Default electric fan help

Hey guys so I ordered and electric fan with a wiring kit. The issue is finding somewhere to put the thermostat...after looking around I still can't seem to find a good location with matching threads on the motor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm anxious to get this going

Google your kit # and see where others are putting it.

The threads are 1/2. I thought about tapping into the radiator and using heat resistant silicone to prevent any leaks. The kit I ordered is ebay I doubt it's popular enough to be a best seller lol

1/2" NPT or 1/2" bolt pitch?

You can try to find a sensor tap for the factory radiator hose size. Usually they are aluminum and you just hose clamp them inline.
