Default Fan kicking in a bit late!

Hi all.. Ive seen on some forums in the USA that to help with keeping the F4i cool in hot weather, they change the thermo switch in the radiator to one from a nissan pulsar 1983 model... this is getting a bit hard to find so was thinking if anyone knows the thread size on the F4i, i can pick a thermo switch from another vehicle.. The aim of this is so the fan kicks in at 90-95c and not 109C ... was thinking about this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32966167280.html

Anyone else put a switch in the rad that activates at a lower temp?
Cheers!
