Nice Colin, it's all coming back to me. I just couldn't remember whether it was electrically ran or vacuum (T-stat). It does not appear that it would be very difficult at all to adapt the T-stat section onto the above closed system I found (above) I still have the pre heat duct and in place as well as the circular fitting in the engine compartment. All I did was cover the hole behind the circular fitting with a piece of tin which could easily be removed.

As for vacuum. I already have #3 tapped for brake booster. I could adapt a dual fitting allowing for two lines (1) for brake booster and the other for the (2) T-stat.

Was surprised to find someone offering a set-up for baywindow with aftermarket duals. But that price is overboard given I know what it actually cost for the parts to put it together. Now if we could just get someone to 3-D print one out...Anyone have some contacts at any local universities/college looking for a project??? can use my Baywindow as the test piece for R&D :study:

Custom fabbed plastic for a very limited market, sounds about right. It is overboard for someone like me who is not in a hurry and enjoys the factory Solexes.
