Default D24T Viscous Coupling

For the last couple of months I've been testing my rebuilt Steyr Puch Pinzgauer which uses the D24Tic motor.

The Pinzgauer is known to overheat in stock form in hot conditions, so like the Malaysian Military Pinzgauers I fitted a solid fan (no viscous coupling) and a locally built large-core radiator which should be excellent in the summer in the Aussie Outback ......however I think I over did it

It's winter here in Melbourne, Australia and unfortunately I can't get the motor temperature past about a third on the gauge, so I think I need to fit a viscous coupling.
I was surprised at the cost of a new factory viscous unit, but was wondering if anyone knew if it was fitted in any other vehicles?

Australia never got any vehicle fitted with the D24 so it would have to be a vehicle that didn't use that motor.

Thanks!
