I also installed the Earls thermostat housing that Ed put me onto, and = it worked fairly well. I had to file out the holes just a bit, but that = was all. It's all sealed up now, with NO thermostat. =20 I also picked up some water wetter today. I figure with a big aluminum radiator, distilled water, water wetter, no thermostat, and a strong = cooling fan, I'll be making ice cubes. Just need to design a dispenser now :-) Rusty
