Type 4 (1700) Thermostat - Am I meant to have one?

[Pabloako]

Hah…… I am getting my “forever” engine built and it has been given new thermostat, flaps, heat shield and a lot more goodies. 

I wouldn’t trust a 2nd hand set up. 

Do you have the pulley?

These guys sell kits

Thanks for the link, I will put together a shopping list.  
I have the cooling flaps and I have the pulley, so I am 2/3 of the way there!
