thermo shim
Does anyone know the diameter of the stock needed to modify the thermostat opening temperature?

Re: thermo shim (RPOZ4Z)
RPOZ4Z, If .101 is the diameter, what is the thickness? I am looking for this value too.

Wow, this is the first time I've been automatically censored! :crazy:
Oh well, try this and remove the spaces. Regardless of the censoring, it's a good how-to:

Re: thermo shim (RPOZ4Z)
.101 is the thickness. Would like to know the diameter. This link gives instructions on making the shim, but doesn't give the shim diameter. I would like to make a shim before I take off the thermostat.

There is a link in my post to the instructions. Don't see the stat shaft diameter.

Re: thermo shim (jfpilla)

Re: thermo shim (RPOZ4Z)
Per my 2:35pm post. It would by nice to have the shim made ahead of time. Would save having to find the right stock after removing the stat.
