EOI - Another batch of rear Thermostat adaptors

Post by WANTSOM »

There has been a bit of interest since the last batch got made.

I can get another batch made but would need at least 10 definite acceptances before I start the process.

Please register if you are "in" and if I can get 10 then will start talks to get another batch made.

Greg,
would it be possible to make some fine adjustments to the second batch? After looking at it on the motor, could you possibly extend the pipe off the adaptor slightly more? Or even make it come down on a angle?
I only ask because it just looks like putting a hose on it will be a complete bitch.

I would buy a extended screw in section, for my original adaptor if you were to do another run. :beer

*Edit* I am in no way bagging these adaptors, they are a great bit of gear :D Just asking a question.

i got my outlet extended today by 25mm which should give just enough clearance to fit a radiator hose onto it, also if it was on a angle downwards it would probably be even better...

Can anyone tell me how far these extend outwards from the back of the head?

40mm it protrudes less than the CAS!

I'll have to compare that to what I'm running now (car is an hour away).

If it's shorter than mine, which I think it is, I'll be interested in grabbing one.

I would also be interested in a longer one that suits a radiator hose to a remote thermostat.

Yep, that's definately shallower than mine - mine sits out further than the CAS.

WANTSOM, if you can lengthen these things like iXNAY has, I'm keen to grab one.

I see the turbo water return line at the top - what other adaptors does it have? From memory, mine has a water temp sensor and one other sensor.

Cheers.

it just has a hole for water temp sensor but if you needed to im sure u could drill in another hole and tap it or just run other sensors from the remote thermostat housing.

Wantsom,

How much interest was there in this second-run?

Any chances of giving it another go?

Lummy, not enough to get another run made yet. Ten is the absolute minimum that I have to order and we havent got that yet.
