Fitting a modified thermostat.

Hi all,

Earlier this year I bought the modified thermostat conversion (the one that fits in the top hose) but I was too busy to fit it, then the weather warmed up and it kind of got put on the back burner.

I've had a look at it today and in the box are the thermostat, two hose clamps and three cable ties, but as if by magic the fitting instructions have disappeared.

I read the instructions before they vanished and I don't recall fitting it being overly complicated but are they available online anywhere?

I've not got any instructions, but there is a link on YouTube which is great.
It's pretty easy and straight forward, the only real thing you need to be careful of is when you cut through the old hose clamp you take it steady so no to damage the hose!

Thanks, I've found that YouTube video and checked it out, I'll sort that at the weekend.
