The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 37 V8

I solder 3 small (3/16" wide) brass shim stock tabs equidistant around the top flange of the thermostat. Bend them down to fit around the water neck and clamp hose as usual. Have never had any movement or leaks.

This procedure is for the modern type thermostats that go in the head water neck. Only requires the 1 clamp as per original configuration.
