[Tigers] Thermostat Housing

[Jay Laifman]

Thanks!  I just ended up ordering the full batch of parts from Rick - with
new hoses, thermostat, etc., while I'm there.  He said that the housing he
gets is nicer quality than many out there.  He mentioned who makes it for
him, but I didn't know the name or write it down.  I do know though that
when Rick says his is nicer quality, it's pretty much always true.
