I resolved to not overthink this.

 

That's a nice piece of gear that simplifies and age old problem. Well done.

 

Uh, you may have failed that resolution ...

But, the solution and execution are clever.

 

Right, almost like youtubers that make a whole video of something they copied from someone else/a forum and then used all kinds of fancy tools like laser cutters and other CNC tools. I just shove a 2x4 under the tank across the fuse box and top of engine, Caveman thinking.

Use the skills you got to get the job done though.

 

I love stuff like this but…you could just do the inline thermostat mod in way less time and never have to worry about bleeding the system again, plus you have a better thermostat setup!
