It seems you have a couple of options, without getting into semi-exotic, programmable controllers, either:
  1. something similar to the ERA setup, with a temperature sensor in the lower radiator hose; or
  2. a simple timer relay that will run the fan(s) for a fixed interval.

The former is well-proven and will run only until the sensor determines the set temperature has been reached. The latter will run for that fixed interval, even when not necessary (e.g. a cool day).

I'd lean toward setup #1.

Regardless - here are couple of timer setups:
