Good for you on pushing that fan closer to the radiator. Shame on you for messing up the hose adaptor... we live and learn.
Hope it works out well for you. Be sure to update the with final results.
Insulated crimp on connectors... I prefer the non insulated type. Heat shrink fits way better... and you can also solder them if you choose. Back when I did far more harness builds I would buy the non insulated type. But I bought a 3 gallon bucket full of misc insulated connectors for $20 at a garage sale years ago. I make them non insulated by just grabbing the terminal end lightly with pliers and the insulated part with needle nose and giving it a twist. The insulation comes right off... then you can solder and heat shrink just as if they were non insulated. Doesn't work for butt connectors though... so I just buy the non insulated.
