Ok...I've looked through Moss (I normally order from them anyway), and I've
come across two choices. I've decided to get an entire kit, because I
wanted to replace the hoses and the other things anyway.
Two choices...help me decide
A regular MGB cooler kit...complete kit with 13 row radiator and hoses
(rubber) $143.95
MGB Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit...for chrome
bumber...thermostatic...stainless steel braided hoses
$159.95
Ok...I'm basically thinking...where's the choice. If I can go thermostatic
and braided hoses for only about $16 more, go for it. However, I think that
I may be missing something. What am I missing? Is it just straight
forward? Should I go for the Thermostatic w/braided hoses?
LMK... :)
