Subject:      Billet aluminum thermostat housings
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1


I was in VanCafe on friday to pick up some parts and I saw a table full of shiny parts. I asked what they were and they handed me a beautiful BILLET thermostat housing that will fit a 2wd or syncro. I am really impressed at the amount of effort they have made to get parts out to market that have gone NLA. The housing is somewhat complex but it looks like a piece of art and the effort that they put into it paid off. If I still had a WBX powered van I would have bought one. I never understood why the OEM 2wd version was a plastic part anyways.  
Just thought I should pass on some info and pics for others.
