Thermostat Housings

[JoKer]

So people saw what mine looked like (a bit corroded) and just said "you can buy them new"

but looking at buying new & the price I saw on a screen made my eyes water (over $60)

so hit Buy now on Ross's listing for a good second hand one & Top radiator pipe as spares ($55 inc Shipping combined)

then I saw this in another thread

HEY!! what thermostat housing is that? It's freaky looking / straight up?

What are the options / alternatives / part's and Part #'s for these available in New Zealand?

edit : WO20 (w-Oh-2-Zer0) seems to be the part # yes?

here's what I've found with some google'ing

All aprox $40 + $32 shipping (all in Australian Money AU$)

On Ebay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hillman-Avenger-1600cc-1725cc-4-Cylinder-OHV-Thermostat-Housing-WO20-KC-/272304784638 aprox the $60 NZD Landed





another : https://parts.loc8apart.co.uk/nav/auto-part/Hillman/J/Thermostats.php





this is apparently from a Hunter Arrow (Just a Hillman Hunter apparently) Same bolt pattern perhaps? & the one I saw at TOTP : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hillman-Hunter-Arrow-Royal-4Cy-New-Old-Stock-Factory-Thermostat-Housing-/282013296922?hash=item41a94d691a:g:lkgAAOSw-vlVjDn8&vxp=mtr

Which I assume you'd need the corresponding Top-pipe or something extra custom like that yuck flexi pipe





and your more traditional Ebay shape I'm used to : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hillman-Avenger-1970-82-Thermostat-Housing-Kilkenny-WO20-/350572479056 (AU$40)





and this odd one too for a 1800 "Horizon" : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272319889173?clk_rvr_id=1146079607233&rmvSB=true

Hey Jarod, funny you posting this, I just replaced mine yesterday with one I found in my box of spares, it was an aftermarket one way thicker than original and so mint that you would swear it was new! (once I cleaned it haha)

Try Ford Fiesta 1.3, just remove the bleed pipe and screw in a bung.  Cheap and plentyfull.
