After having been in manufacturing for years, I enjoy the challenge of reproducing parts that I need or are hard to find.

I have access to a set to make molds from. Later this year I'll get the molds made and make them.

Default Re: Thermostat Housing "REPRO"

I spoke to the foundry this morning and should have a functional prototype for the thermostat housings within a month or so. Hopefully before Carlisle.

The design will be a near exact copy of the casting. There is only one pathway that has a compound angle that I will not be able to machine. This outlet will be a straight bore with an elbow threaded to accomodate both angles. Otherwise, the casting will be unmodified. The upper thermostat housing is also being cast as OEM.

Once I have the prototype and a unit cost, I will post a pic of it and ask for those interested to raise their hand. I will probably make a run of ten or so. I need two, myself, and TomTom will receive the first one to the group.

It's on the list. I have an extra one for a pattern. The mold will need made before I can make the two pcs and bond them together. Pretty busy at the moment on restorations.
