Re: T-stat install
i just put a t stat in and held it in place with an old lower hose. it fit inside the upper hose perfectly and used about half the lenght of the original one.

Re: T-stat install
Snyders has thermostats. they are welded to a short piece of stainless pipe and fit perfectly within the upper hose. It is supposed to fit up against the upper end of the hose next to the radiator pipe. No need for any extra clamp.
I installed one a couple of weeks ago... I should have done it years ago. Quick warmup, steady temp at 160. Really nice. Tom |

Re: T-stat install
The Vintage Precision product is indeed slick and well made, but it does look a bit goofy, for the info of those who still cling to an illusion of authenticity, which clearly the owner of this car has let go.

Re: T-stat install
Looks great, along with the alternator, plug wires, and down draft carb.
