I got a stainless version* of the Indigo thermostat with an air bleed valve the other day and was looking for a way to mount it. I was thinking of on the heat exchanger itself, but then I got an idea. I took the T off the thermostat hole in the head because I am doing something else with the temp senders and I had the thermostat in my hand looking at the hole and.....it fit perfectly
The hole from there into the cooling jacket is bigger and more direct than the hole in the thermostat housing. As far as I can tell, this will work better and makes a neater mounting point. I will need an air bleed for the original thermostat housing, it being a high point. Note it does not go on the manifold because I am running raw water through it.
* I recommend the stainless version for RWC and FWC. The aluminum one was looking ratty and the extra port makes a perfect air bleed for FWC.
