WTB: Thermostat housing for FWD Dash

Anyone have one that they'd like tp part with? Mine cracked acriss the bolt holes yesterday when putting a new thermostat in.

Needs to be from a FWD manifold with the water outlet for a water cooled turbo. Alternatively any suggestions? Thought of welding it and/or something from another manufacturer/model.

I know this is a long shot. Any help much appreciated.

Tks
Greg

Flav,

Hoped you might be able to pull something out of your magic box. If you can find one I will be indebted otherwise I think you're right, its a weld job.

Yeah, I cant believe it cracked! Wasnt even tensioned right up either. Shit happens, frequently. :roll:

Is it the one that comes out of the back of the housing...JB WC type? My dash has it next to the thermostat on the manifold, and its the fwd conversion job.

I kick ass at Bob The Builder...mabey coz it's a kids game!

What you have there is a JB WC housing, I think Fuel may have one.
If you can't get one i should have it by Tuesday.
Was your thermostat sitting in the right place?
Thats a decent crack u have there! rofl
