thermostat for air cooled type 1 vw's 64-74
Part number:
111 119 159A
Your cost:
$54.00
Description:
On the early air cooled vw engines, just below the 1-2 cylinders, was a brass/copper colored accordion style thermostat.
This is the new style replacement for that part.
You will need to drill a hole into your original mounting bracket for the locate nub to fit into, to prevent the thermostat from rotating.
Fits all type 1 engines 64 to 74.
Operates from 65-70 Celsius
Original equipment part, made by Thermex, Denmark Germany.
If your engine is fuel injected, don't buy this.
part# 043-119-159 fits Type 1 Fuel Injected 75-up (80-85C) NOT ON OUR SITE
I have sold several of these each year.
I have never, until now, installed one. I wasn't pleased with what I had to do:
I began by first removing and inverting the 'cage' for the thermostat & welding it to the bracket. That turned out to be an unnecessary step.
So, I cut the cage off and installed the thermostat as shown. This will prevent you from using the second piece of tin that normally fits beneath the thermostat, as it was designed.
We have to fabricate our own 'flap control bar' because we only had one from an early fan shroud and ours is a doghouse style shroud.
