Yes to the gauge question.
Does the wiring travel down to the front of the radiator? if so connect the two wires and the fan should work.
You have a few choices you can replace the radiator or if your radiator is in good condition just get an aftermarket sensor that you install into the top hose or you can install a switch and operate it manually.
Remember an auxiliary fan on a Mini has no benefits when you are driving it just helps in traffic.

I can't shoot a picture for you today.....but my 89 Jap spec MINI has the connection/switch low down just to the right of back side of the rad. (towards carb)

On the later Mini's it is located on the bottom radiator tank facing the grille.

Hey guys, i got a 92 1275 carb auto and im trying to find where the temp switch is for the aux fan. The plug on the right goes to the fan. I dont know what that thing is in the middle? It only has one connection (left plug)
