I don't have a westy, so your proposition is really expensive. It'd be
cheaper to just get a spray bottle with a long hose and I could manually
mist. I've noticed spraying a house down with water, cools it down.

Anyway, forgot to mention that my second thermostat would be at a higher
temp, for only when the radiator could use a little help, like when idling
riding up a mountain in sardinized traffic on a very hot day escaping the
nuclear fallout thanks to North Korea.
