Use aviation snips to trim an 1/8" all around, works for me, after all it's just a thermostat not a rocket ship.

So 8ba thermostats are larger diameter than 59a ?

Finally found the issue, what I have are for 49-53 V8. These was sold to me as being for 37-48.

Yes, they do not go into the hose like the earlier ones have to. They locate into a metal machined lip.
