Hi Ppl,

Being in a rush while working on a engine, I cracked a couple of thermostat housings (the part that fits over top of the actual thermostat that the (thick) hose couples/goes to the rad).

Should have known better, but I had to borrow a couple from a friend and need to replace 'em and have a spare for myself.

If anyone has one or more, please get in touch.

I'm up in Canada but the shipping shouldn't be much.

LMK if U have any kicking around.

Cheers, Dave

I probably have it, let me go thru my stuff, you can email me at bruno_langelier@hotmail.com

If I have it, about 10$ (in cdn of course+ shipping, about 5$, I'm in mtl)

You can buy them at most parts stores, its not a big deal.

@SupraWes...about buying the houseing at most parts stores...really?? I'll check into it but I just kinda assumed most parts specific to a 20 yr old engine wouldn't be readily available. I'll check tho'

Thanks for the info if that's the case & I can get 'em locally.

Cheers, Dave

wes is right, although the one i got is not aluminum.. is actually cast iirc.. just make a call im sure they can help you out.

Definitely Cast Iron is a lot less likely to crack which would be a plus, but I would think that it would also be more of a contributor to corrosion, no??

I have a nice polished one if you like shiney stuff, I love shiney stuff which is probably why I polished it, price is free you pay 12.00 dollars for shipping.
