I have one of those nice machined aluminum thermostat housings for my car which I would really like to put one. However, here is my dilemma..........the heater hose outlet off the housing is tapped for a 1/2 inch heater hose outlet. The heater hose outlet that came with it is for a 1/2 hose. I don't feel real comfortable putting a 5/8 inch heater hose on a 1/2 inch fitting and trying to keep it from leaking by tightening down the hose clamps real tight. I would much prefer using a 5/8 inch heater hose outlet. Problem is that there is not enough "meat" in the housing to take the threaded hole out for a 5/8 inch thread. I was hoping that someone knew where one could purchase a heater hose outlet that has 1/2 threads to screw into the 1/2 inch hole in the housing and then have a 5/8 inch outlet on top to attach the heater hose to. If anybody knows a place where one can go to find such a fitting please let me know. I am stymied right now.
Thanks,
