This is for the Masi Thermostat Box machined by acannell
For the R&D discussion of this new product see here:
This thermostat box for the Masi engine will feature:
-CNC machined out of billet 6061-T6 aluminum
-compatible with stock oring, thermostat, thermostat housing, bleed valve,and bolts
-mounts in stock location with no modifications required to anything
-same heater nipple diameter as stock
-same internal bore diameters as stock
-deletion of blind small nipple next to heater nipple
-shape will be similar to stock
I'm asking $145 shipped to USA or Canada.
The plan for the group buy is as follows:
-Get at least 10 people to verbally (on the forum) "commit" to buying one. This may take weeks or months. During this time the technical discussion can continue and the features or specific changes can be requested.
-Once at least 10 people have committed, I'll need to receive a 50% down payment from all of them. Hopefully that only takes a few days.
-Then I will finish the design, make a prototype, send it to someone in the forum to verify fitment (I dont have a Masi engine).
-If the design needs to be tweaked for fitment, I'll do that, then I'll machine all the ordered thermostat boxes and ship them out within 4 weeks, and thats when the remaining 50% would be due.
The models pictured below are based on measurements I made of a stock masi tstat housing. I think they are 90% correct. The final model and finished part WILL look somewhat different for machinability reasons and if any other changes are made in the design thread, but overall it will basically be a stock replacement that looks fairly stock.
Also pictured is something I made for the 2.2/2.5 community, which only took 72 hours from project start until machined working prototype, as an example of my work.
So if you would like to purchase one of these, just say so in this thread, and I'll keep a running list in this thread. Please only commit if you actually plan on putting the 50% down when the time comes and the rest when I ship them.
Thank you!
