Where can I get a new T-stat housing for a 1500?

No one has it listed and I missed the one NOS that was on ebay. My tank tube rusted off.
 
THBOM limited K. How many cash American dollars would you need for your item?
 
Looks like there will be a thermostat housing available in a short while, from a '76 Midget- want one?

don't rush to judgement Bill - see what it is first. but, if parting out becomes the plan, I'm interested in the

Engine back plate
Clutch slave
Slave mount
Slave push rod
 
Yeah, I need the t-stat housing if it's good.

Check it out first, the motor might be salvagable.

Looks like we don't need these any longer Bill, guess you'll just have to fix the car. :cheers:
 
Kellysguy-
I see why you said "if it's good"!!! It seems to be complete and in good shape but now that the studs broke off as I was trying to take it off I have it soaking in PB Blaster and hope it comes free, if not I will try to drill it free.
Hope that I can send it to you.

The 4AGE that comes in the US Geo Prizim and Corrolas from '89-94 might be a good drop in fit. Might wanna look at those if you're considreing a swap. It would be a great market for adapters to the 1500 trans.

Here are some pictures of the housing-
Does it look like the correct one?

It dawned on me this morning on my way home from your place that the housing you have is specific to the 1975 model. All others have the large tube in place of the small one like yours has. Probably not going to work for Kellysguy. The Moss catalog talks about this. Page 19 of the latest catalog.
 
Yeah, this one is smaller but I should be able to make it work w/ a bushing.
 
you might be able to drill and thread that one end
 
One just came up on ebay that is the right type.
