Folks,
I went to the Beaulieu autojumble in September '95 and found roughly 20
skirted thermostats that would fit our TR2 and TR4. The temperature range
varied from 160F to 185F, and I don't think I paid more than 1.5 quid for
any of them. They all were new, some in boxes. I also picked up a dozen
NOS Smiths original style thermostats from Bob Kamholtz (aka "Cheeseman")
of Genoa City, Wisconsin. Alas, I`ve given most of them away over the last
year to deparate TR owners. They are out there, you just have to look hard.
A good way to find them is to look for old thermostat housings. Sometimes
there's an original still inside.
Good hunting,
Bruce Clough
