Re: Thermostat Housing Swap
Hi,
Have you compared it to your stud positions on your head? If they match and the thermostat fits in it then it should do.
If you can't tell and don't want to remove your existing one to check then do you have a spare thermostat housing gasket? You could try matching that with it.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: Thermostat Housing Swap
I think that might be a mini housing, the angle suggests to me it might be. If I am right, unlikely
, then you'll find you may have to put a bit of a bend in you top hose

Re: Thermostat Housing Swap
I think that's actually an early Spridget item for the 948 allowing a temperature sender (and gauge) to be fitted.
Willing to be corrected.

Re: Thermostat Housing Swap
It will obviously fit the head - but as already mentioned, you may need a special hose.......
