remote thermostat fit in wilts?

[DKL]

Anyone around wilts have a remote stat kit fitted?
Will be fitting a new rad when the weather means the garage isn't arctic and want to fit one of these too but I'd like to see one first.

Have you posted on Blatchat?

Not a seven club member so no. Some of the 21 owners are so may get some answers this way.

I'll post your request on Blatchat and get back to you if I get a positive response. I attend both the South and North Wilts meets.

I have had two responses.

The first was:-

"I'm in Gloucestershire and fitted an Eliseparts one to my VVC car. It works well and requires only a little extra plumbing and removal of the original stat. I used a two outlet submarine pipe as fitted to I think Vauxhall 7's and supplied by CC to facilitate the stat bypass and filler hoses. With a Radtec radiator it runs at a steady indicated 82deg in all conditions.
Are you looking to use the QED item?"

The other from a chap between Bradford on Avon has a QED one fitted.

Let me know if either may be of interest and perhaps I can forward some contact details around.

Huw,
Thanks.
I saw the thread on Blatchat.
I should be able to mail them directly I think so I'll have a go. Shouldn't need to trouble you further unless I get stuck.
Thanks again
