One  thing to keep in mind with a bellows thermostat is that they were
designed  for the low pressure caps, 7 lbs I believe.  If you decide to
change  to the higher pressure cap, the bellows will collapse under  the
pressure.



Hey Guys,
Not sure what all the Fuss is about but Triumph TR3 101 will teach that it  
is required to A) block the bypass or B) use a sleeved thermostat.  I  suppose 
we all know that as fact? Using the correct cap is a nice thing to  practice 
too. That being said, the condition of the radiator is primarily what  will 
determine how hot a TR3 will run, period, no debate, a  fact!  A whole bunch of 
other factors will play a role.  
The Word According to Me,
Cheers,
Darrell
PS Just found out that my TR3B Rad is full of "Rat Turds"  at the  bottom.  
OK , I was trying to stop that dang leak at the neck and went a  little 
overboard!
