I bought 3 of the sleeved t'stats from Nock's about 3 years ago for myself
and 2 other owners. Cost about US$45 shipped to Australia. If they fail
they do so in the open position unlike the bellows type. They are 160 deg
and everyone is happy with them. Mine usually runs around the 160-17- range
and the car is much cooler for the occupants. For that sort of money it is
not worth experimenting with something which may not work and do damage
maybe.

Steve,
I know of one person in our local club who has installed a blanking sleeve &
a standard T'stat in his BJ8 engine & has had no issues. He did not solder
the sleeve to the T'stat.

Bob,
Are you using the Moss blanking sleeve for this?
I bought one of their fail-open t-stats (it's a Motorad) and was wondering
if I can just insert the blanking sleeve and put the t-stat in on top of it
- not sure what I'd solder to what.
