[Healeys] Original Bellows-type Thermostat Stats

[Alan Seigrist]

Ray -

The standard bellows thermostat has a nasty habit of shutting closed when it
fails.  This is a bit of an issue because the way a bellows thermostat is
constructed it has a tendency to fail quite often.

It's better to get a modern thermostat, which shoots open when it fails, if
it fails at all.  Norman Nock sells them with the bypass sleeve.
