Re: electric fans
Looks a nice chunky lump. What thread does it have already, looks quite large. Maybe you could use that thread for the radiator switch and drill and tap a thread on the other side for the temp sensor.
A suitable suzuki swift radiator switch is 16mm x 1.5mm pitch (fine) thread. Most temperature sensors have a 1/8npt thread.

Re: electric fans
Could you not just have a big loop of hose?
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Would work.

Don't know what bore size is needed ?
Could use a slight bend from your old hose to join new switch to thermostat cover/housing.
