He's on his way home to TN from Minonk, IL now.
We got the housing changed out and it's holding.

List,

I have the part.  My wife and I are heading up there shortly with a truck and trailer and bringing him back
to Minonk, IL where my parts and shop are.

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.&nbsp;

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