Maybe someone on the forum has a spare 617 tstat housing, and they would be willing to help a new member out....or there is always PNP.
I was lucky its the top most bolt.
I have a air powered angle drill, tap , new bolt and never seize ready to go. along with a new thermostat and gasket.
If all goes as planned it shouldnt take more then 30 minutes
