Subject:Need help in Chicago area..thermostat hosuing blown.
From:Peter
Date:Sun, 5 Sep 2010 13:50:42 -0500

Hey all, I'm new to the list, but am in big trouble. I'm here for the weekend(although now it may be longer...) and need some help. I had a coolant leak in my 87 westy on the way up here from nashville. I had someone around town help with a temp fix where we replaced that part of the hose and coupled the old and new hose together with a coupler.
Bad stuff happened when I was cruising down I-88 and the new hose snapped a nozzle off the thermostat housing. I need a new housing asap...does anyone in the area have one to sell or know where I can get one? I'm supposed to be back in Nashville tuesday morning, but it looks like that won't happen. 

If anyone can help, or has a thermostat housing for sale, please let me know asap. My cell is 615-618-6881 .
I'm stuck in a parking lot in downers grove. 
Thanks for any help you can give!
