Message: <blockquote data-quote="CobraRGuy" data-source="post: 1586104" data-attributes="member: 24211">My buddy Ray suggested using a little weather stripping adhesive to hold the thermostat in the housing until you tighten it down. I told him I was concerned that the thermostat could fall out of the slight recess in the housing before tightening the bolts. He said he has seen that happen several times, and when people try to tighten the bolts further, the housing cracks.I'm about to reinstall mine, so I'll follow Ray's recommendation.I took mine off to install a reducer for the bypass hose. The TF intake I'm using locates that housing farther up, making any bypass hoses I've tried too short. The reducer allows me to use a 90 degree hose with the same size at both ends. Those are easy to find with plenty of length.The billet reducer I bought fit loose in the housing, so I used epoxy to install it. It came out really nice:[ATTACH=full]49164[/ATTACH]This will be installed later today. I doubt I have weather stripping adhesive, so I'll probobly use a couple dabs of silicone. I will file the housing flat, clean, and smooth before installing . CobraRGuy</blockquote>
