Re: Thermostats ?
Hmmm, that wire appears to be thicker than what I used. I seem to have plenty of time to dabble with them as N. H. is going to be "Perma frost" year round I guess ! 40 degrees at 6:45 AM

Re: Thermostats ?
Why do you think wiring the thermostat down this way is needed?

Re: Thermostats ?
Well Jack, it was suggested by others that with a shorty like they are using it could push up and turn sideways in the hose. I got some this past week and tried them in a pan of very hot water and neither one opened as far as I could tell. (Kube said you should check them first before install) A good idea. I went back to my stash and found I had several more old stock Harrison's. I guess they might have been checked once before as there was grease pencil marks that said 197 on the box's even though they were factory marked 171. I put them all in hot water and picked the two closest matching set which did open at 196. Put them in this AM and fingers crossed they will work like they are supposed to.

Re: Thermostats ?
197 might be pushing it! Be interesting to see how they work out.

The reason that most of us prefer not to install the additional clamp is that we want to keep our vehicle `show correct'. We want it to look as original as possible. I have had my thermostats get loose in the hose, and at that point, they are not functioning. |

Re: Thermostats ?
When you get to a show, they are easily removed.
