I haven't seen that.  I have two used thermostats where the posts have
threads on the outside, but the post are different diameters.  I am also in
need of a new thermostat for my air cooled 2.0.  Give us an update on what
you finally figure out.

Good luck,
Jake

Subject: Attaching cable to thermostat?

Hello listers!

It seems that I must be obsessed with thermostats, because it's all
I've been posting about recently! With great thanks to Boston Bob
Donalds, I have all the pieces for mounting my thermostat to my 2.0L
aircooled engine. I'm not sure how the cable attaches, though? There's
a post coming out of the bellows on the cable side of things - on the
blown thermostat, the outside of this post is threaded and there's a
cable-holding cap that screws down over it. On the new thermostat
(from Bus Depot) the threads are on the inside of the post...

I've called in sick (*cough*) to work to get this engine finished
today, so any advice MUCH appreciated!! :)

Cheers!
Mike.
