stat

[The Radman]

who does an orig style stat ? i want one with the thin rubber seal that fits around the edges of the stat itself,i dont want the ones that use a chunky o ring type

[800bhp]

I bought 1 from Ford in the end tired 3 different 1s they were all the 1s with the bigger O ring.

Yes think last i checked(10years or more ago) they where 50-60 i think... I bought from msd some years ago and i am almost sure that was correct oring, and was much cheaper(82deegree i got)

MSD is the only with good oring.

£80

ouch,they havnt dropped in price then

well that was another waste of money got the msd one and the rubber seal is too thick,theres no way it will clamp up without leaving a gap between the front cover and body,its not as bad as some of the others but still isnt up to ford spec. looks like its a dealer job again,more expense

the origin is too deteriorate to put it back?

[The Radman]

yes the stat itself has gone all brittle inside and started to crack all over,the rubber seal is ok on my old one but wont fit properly over the new stat as thats got a raised lip section so needs a wider seal
