Don't we have a couple of electrical engineers here, mebbe one of
whom can explain why we couldn't put a rheostat in the circuit?
Dial-a-Pump, anyone? Hmmm, mebbe even have it stay off until
temp comes up, control temp electrically (no Lucas parts, please)
instead of mechanically w/a thermostat, which I have a habit of
installing backwards anyway. :-(

Oh, yeah:

It wasn't a problem, but mine was a wee bit twisted out-of-plane; about
1/2 or 3/4 inch "drew up" when I tightened the last bolt, and didn't
spring a leak from the tension-- yet.
