Yet another DIY reroute RIW question
 
Does anyone know if this "Chevrolet" spacer would fit? You gotta love the O-ring seal, and the full support of the water neck flange.

Jegs Spacer

By "fit", I mean Center-to-Center on the mounting holes, and T/Stat diameter.

Regards, DNM

that is really cool.
looks just like the one we all used to get from Moss, except even fancier with the o-ring.

would need dimensions to confirm fitment though.

Doubt anyone has used it, but for $31 it'd be pretty cheap to buy it and lay it on a Miata thermostat gasket.

I guess you can google around for dimensions of chevy small block/big block thermostat dimensions and get an idea of the size of this thing.
Or call JEGS?

if this thing fits, you get 100 internet points :party:

Yeah, I'd call JEGS for a drawing. Hole centers is all you care about, you can always use a GM T-stat. Could be a big win!

Tell them it's for a Yukon, we all use their hoses anyways.

Based on a thread in the locost forums, it appears to be 3.2" (~81.25mm) center to center.

Huh, this is probably why we haven't found it before. Miata is closer to 2.65".

Miata vs. 3.2"

bahhh, that's a bummer.

DNMakinson 10-28-2014 11:47 AM

Bandit: I thought it might be too big.

18: The Moss part is still available. You have to order by P/N. See This Thread

I may get the Moss and turn for an o-ring, maybe one on both faces. Then no scraping when the T'Stat has to be changed. My Expy uses an o-ring at the T'Stat face, I just need to see how it is done when I change it. I mean, with the Moss part, one has to machine the stat grove anyway.
