Hi DeliveryValve,

Thanks for confirming what I was thinking - o-ring is for another model.

Well, I got the t-stat from Phil (this site) , so it might take a while to get one. BTW,I did order what I thought was the housing gasket, but it was something totally different. No big deal, however, it was a small, inexpensive mistake.

Thank you.

This damsel (that was in distress) can now finish her project, took the radiator off yesterday, wish I had bought a new one, but seems to be in good enough shape. A bit paranoid about those plastic necks though. A good exercise in taking one out and in again.

In my haste, am leaving of the fan guard. May replace the hoses/clamps as I do this flush, gives me more room with that guard out of the way.
