Where to buy replacement thermostat?

Post by daysofthunder »

I discovered a water leak between the water pump and engine . Removed the unit to find the o ring had been fitted wrong partly chewed by the internal wheel .
I am about to purchase new o rings and seals but I want to replace the thermostat too while its off

My question is does anyone sell thermostat with o ring included as last time I bought a fuel pump from heritage they included gaskets but wasn't listed in description

A quality thermostat is more important than getting a gasket with it
Get one from Brickwerks and you know it will be a quality brand or oem
They will sell you the gasket too
Is that early or late cooling system?
