    Im just running a cheap looking thing I picked up for 5$ ata yard sale ,similar to the plastic one Gman is showing. I think you just want to mount them so the fill is below the main water sytem fill ? Im running a 185 stat but am considering dropping it down a couple notches to the 165 area. I accidently cured my high speed overheating by dropping the radiator 3 inches to put the seats in. I want to see if I can get the run temps down with a colder thermostat now.
