The thing I also liked about the set-up was the fact you didn't loosen the head bolts to access the t-stat. And at the rear of the housing are two access ports for both mechanical and/or electrical temp sensors. I thought the whole concept was really nicely thought out even if it is a bit odd looking.

Dick,
HEre's some more photos that may help. Indeed the notches are not as large as I would have made them but they seem to do the job. I've seen new stats with one very tiny hole in the flange, I believe intended to be just large enough to let a bubble get by; these are much larger but probably not equivalent to two 1/8" holes. The dished out section in the other half of the unit, sweeps the coolant toward the smaller but deeper notch seen at the edge of the stat flange.
You're right about it being well thought out. Good idea to be able to change stat w/o loosening head bolts. As an engineer, you will be pleased, I'm sure.
For extra credit, including photo of my earlier technology, which also worked fine.
