Default Eden "The Metro" Bass Amp intermittent problem

The thermal protection circuit is activating before the 60 degree centigrade
fan switch is cutting in, under high load.
The fan switch temperature , testing in isolation , is about right.
I'd rather change the switch to a 40 degree one rather than tracing the
drift in the thermal protection circuit.
Any advice? or even if there is a recognised cure in the thermal matching
circuit ,eg replacing/matching Vbe of the sense transistors.
