Hi All,
I recently installed a new modern thermostat in my car. There was a modern one in there already, but it looked kind of ratty so I decided to replace it.
My question is this. The design of the bypass hose presumes that we're using a Bellows/Sleeve-style thermostat. Obviously, I am not. I'd rather not use the old style thermostat because they are prone to failure. So, I should block off the bypass, correct?
What should I do this with? I tried the auto parts store to see if they had rubber radiator hose caps in 1", but they didn't. I ordered some caps from McMaster Carr, so we'll see if those work. If not, what would someone suggest? I want to make it look nice, and as clean as possible.
All ideas welcome! Thank You!
