Nice one, thanks for the pics dave, that makes a bit more sense now! I'll need to take a trip down the breakers to try and get a thermostat at some point. Any idea which years escorts had them in, and if there's an easy way to tell the engine size by looking at it? (wasn't there escorts made around the 1.1-1.2 range which I'm guessing won't work?)

Also I've been looking at sourcing the CHS to make the manifold and I'm struggling to find something with 3mm wall and an inside diameter of 36mm to match the carbs. Would it be better to go slightly bigger say 42mm OD/39 ID or something a bit smaller like 38mm OD/ 35mm ID?
