Brilliant Pete, that's taken a lot of the mystery and apprehension away for me.

I reused the O-ring. Regarding not using sealant on the paper gaskets, my kit came pre-assembled. Had it not, I would have used sealant. Mine is weeping very slightly at the paper gaskets. Ron B. VK2OTC

Yep, use the "O" ring again without a gasket at that end, gasket goes between the three leaves and another against the water pump.

Good find Pete, Got a question though, even at the coldest we don't even come close to single digit temps in centigrade and in summer high 40s or even 50C, it was 45C-ish todayi, and since you mentioned you ran without a T,stat for months, I'm thinking of getting rid of it althoghter, one less thing to worry about.

There is the argument that it may effect the flow in the system which "could" cause problems, in reality I don't think it would make much difference, if I were you I'd give it a go, it doesn't take long at all for it to get upto temp in the summer here so I can't see it's an issue there....
