Default Mishimoto Thermostatic Sandwich Plate, Gold

Hi,

I just mounted it on my 370.
In the setup I used Z1 cooler kit, that uses Mocal but after a lot of investigations, I found this video that convinced me to Mishimoto.

Mishimoto Thermostatic Sandwich Plate Features & Benefits Video - YouTube!

In particular, the Mishimoto Thermostat:
1) it's possible to change the core of thermostat with another one if the switch is too high or too low.
2) In warm up, the major flow to the radiator is bypassed. And only a little amount of hot oil goes to the radiator.

Problem: the Mishimoto plate is a lot higher, so you MUST use Mishimoto Banjo Fitting w/Bolts that are a little expensive...

Now the temperature warm up fast as stock to 90°celsius, and after remain stable.

Note: The Z1 kit uses a ~100° curve to reach the plate, so the lenght of the pipes is just, just, just enough to do this job.

This are some photos:
