Hi everyone,

I need some help??? I have been playing around with the cooling system on my old clevo and have found that the small brass bush / or plug that fits under the Thermostat has been removed (Prior to me owning the car). This is critical for the thermostat to block the bypass to the pump when the engine reaches temp. I have been chasing cooling problems for a while now and was not aware of this needed brass part until a few days ago. ie It has meant that the Thermostat is not blocking the coolant to the bypass.

I have rung around and now have others in the know looking, but we may need to machine up a part if necessary. Does anyone

1. Have a part like this floating around?
2. Know where I might get one...I have gone to all the clevo experts down here in Melb. Part is obsolete.
3. Have a spec drawing of the brass bush they can send me?

Hoping someone can help!!!

Cheers


Tony

PS : will be puling an old bush out of another engine and try and measure if no success.
