Crazy or useful changes I've been thinking of making:
1. Cut off the nipple for the "S" hose on the ft cover, and weld on an aluminum 90* elbo. [May also be able to drill/tap a threaded elbo in. Could be 1/4-5/16 thread?? This does away w/ that absurd hose, and allows use of a simple 90* molded hose. Less $, much easier to get.
2. Clock the tstat hold down bolt from difficult to get to at 5 o'clock, to 11 o'clock. A simple drill/tap when the ft cover is off, [as mine is], and both these changes can be done. [We know everyone has to change the timing chain, so then is the time.]
