    thermostats

    G'day all,
    After weeks of inaction due to uni, i'm back to spannerwork
    Today, Andrew (shonky) came over and we put the new waterpump and radiator in. When I bought the vehicle, it didn't have a thermostat fitted but there was one in the 'bits box', so I bought a new one.
    They are very different!
    To the left is the old, shiny is new.

    and the housing


    Anyone know where the 'slimline' thermostat comes from? its back in the vehicle now as the other clearly wouldn't fit. It has 28 and 62 marked on it?


    Also pulled out my (ex army) canopy, its been cut down to not have a cab roof section, its been converted to work with the truck cab in place

    I bought a new one (exactly the same as your old one) from Land Vehicle Spares at Silverdale about 2 months ago, for $16.50.

    The annoying thing is that I just went downstairs to check what it looked like and I can't find it. I've got so much stuff stashed away ready to be bolted back on that I'm starting to lose track of it. I think my next job might be to sort out everything I've got - I just noticed I've doubled up on axle u-bolt nuts, it's definitely time to get a grip on the inventory.

    Peter

    Think thats going to drive me crazy :P

    In other news, Dirty Mary has belched filthy brown exhaust all over my neighbour's front yard, but after 20 minutes of running on and off idle, cleared right up and she runs beautifully

    Cheers,
    Mark

    No, and that is not the blinker listed in the optional equipment book either - but then a lot of early 2as came without blinkers - they were not required even on new vehicles until about the mid sixties, and it was probably fitted some time in the sixties. It could of course be a replacement, but it is typical of the ones sold for retrofitting to older vehicles in the sixties.

    My old S2 had one of these:



    It was pretty cool and the green bit on the end of the stalk is translucent with internal flasher. I think these FOXTON blinkers were a common "option" but other versions around too.

    G'day John, Paul.
    Last night at the LROCS meeting i saw a series 1 with a foxton stalk similar to mine but with a different end knob, different again to Pauls. That green light-up knob is awesome!
    Paul, did yours make the meerp meerp? The sound unit is behind the flashing dash light.

    I absolutely adore these little character-added features, the blinker is the best so far

    Yes I liked it too - couldn't bring myself to separate it from the series 2 when I sold it - would have looked good on Olute. No "Berrp" just the click/tic from the flasher can.

    body putty hides a multitude of sins







    Evidence of previous repairs

    Then again, not bad for a 46 year old vehicle I suppose

    Erk.

    Oh well - Once done properly it won't matter.

    Any filler on the rest of the chassis? I haven't noticed any but I didn't spot that either!

    The new thermostat on the right is the correct unit. The thermostat on the left does not have a skirt to close off the short circuit once temperature has been reached. This will result in not all of the water going through the radiator.

    Aaron.
