replacement (cheap) thermostat
found on the hawk site
Stant 180° part number 35788 or BT 378 180
.:Hawkeye:. sez:

The photos show the Stant number you need. I had to grind a little off the
pin to clear the top half of the housing, and grind one millimeter off the
radius to seat it in the lower housing. Final mod is to drill the by-pass
hole (no typo this time). Final photo shows the saucepan test with an ASTM
certified thermometer (thank you Weyerhaeuser lab). It starts to open at
180 deg and is fully open by about 190. .:Hawkeye:.'s page

Sounds interesting Outlaw. You talk about the Hawk site, do you have a link?

You also tease with the promise of pictures ?

Ouch, that's not good news at all
Have you any recourse with the seller?

As Mcf says sorry to hear your bad luck Outlaw.

Does this mean you are stuck for transport?

Happy to lend you my bike for a few days if it would help?
