[Mark Widdup2]

If anyone has the Seven and Classics kit or QED kit that they didn't get around to fitting please drop me a pm.

thanks Mark

PEL500110 grey light spring 82 degree is the one you need, the kit contains lots of parts of no use in a Caterham

Not sure if the Rover 32mm T piece is still available but most of the silicone hone suppliers can help with that

You can use the outer ring of the old thermostat as the dummy ring in the housing

No it isn't. The poster is looking for the QED top hose thermostat kit - HERE

...just offering a better alternative as the PRT is a full flow version......

Thanks both for you valued input. Just a quick question on the 500110, on the diagram it looks to have an input of 35mm and two outputs of 35mm and 33mm. Doing online searches, top hose looks to be 32mm so my questions are please-

1) Im guessing the main flow goes through the 35mm outlets if you break into the top hose and therefore can you just stretch a fit over the 35mm inlet/outlet or are converters needed?

2) Where does the 33mm offshoot then break in to please?

Many thanks as always.

Hi Mark

All the ones  I've fitted accepted stock 32mm ID hoses without issue,

The principle is similar to a domestic shower, a hot inlet direct from the top hose, a cold inlet form the bottom of the rad and a return - effectively your 'shower head' the thermostat shuttles to maintain the outlet temp and since it is in full flow of the top hose it can do so rapidly and very effectively.

the QED version places a stat in dead top hose with negligible water flow until the stat opens so initially the stat only sensors primarily by conduction as it is not in a  direct 'flow' so its response times are slower.
