Restoring MKII Mini 1000... Apart from a million other bits I also need a new thermostat. Looking through the Mini Sport catalogue I see there are 3 types available : 74° 82° and 88°
Which one do I need ????
Thanks a lot chaps.
Which Thermostat ?

Well I believe 88 degrees is the standard for Britian, but i'm not sure about earlier Mini's?

Any opinions on the incredibly hot Summers we get in my part of the world ? Are the lower temp thermostats designed for hotter climates?

didn't have one fitted to one of my cars but that had a 1340 engine and heated up nice and quickly! Normally have an 88 degree one!

When I replaced mine I went to HAlfords for it and when I said 1000cc Mini they said is it a Metro? Didnt have 1000cc Minis in their catalogue!
