    Default Thermostat housing - alternative?

    I need a thermostat housing. I bought one new in ~2005 but lent it to a mate. It's no longer in production. Is there a thermostat housing off another model that comes close?

    I can weld aluminium, or make the whole thing from scratch if needed, but would rather not for times sake.

    Hi Jonny, an oddly nonspecific post for you. Which motor?

    Hi, original specification AE86. 4A-GE, RWD. Normal waterpump (which I have), and thermostat housings (missing, lent to a mate). I think the distance between the holes is about 47mm?

    (Also after a alternator bracket).

    KC - Killkeny Castings do lots of thermostat housings

    I searched through part numbers looking for 4AGE listing, but only lists 4a, 4ac and 4afe?
    Shows the OE part number for cross reference.

    This is the measurments page, might be able to match one up?

    An AE92 4AG housing will fit even though it's longer and it has a boss for a fan switch.
    In the above an AE82 housing may also work
