I've read a lot of posts but first, wanted to clarify that a 6 volt fan motor will not last long in a 12 volt system? Next item, the fan switch, just on/off or should it be variable speed? Finally does the fan motor have to be a specific type in order to use a variable speed switch? Vehicle has been converted to 12 volt. Thanks,

Don't try running your 6v motor on 12v Phil, taint like the starter,
you'll fry it for sure. Gotta use the reducer as Brad pointed
out to drop the 6v across.

If the 6v motor still works, I betcha a Stovebolter with a broken 6v heater motor would like to have it.
