@Jason Feuerstein Would you happen to have the part number of that bleeder valve you added. I was looking to get rid of the splice in the lower hose. Did the Gates hose work out you listed above? Mine is zip tied out of the way of the tensioner pulley.

 

Are these kits still available?

 

Look at the Disco 2 forum. There's a sticky at the top of it for the inline thermostat.
