So get the aluminum housing and do a little carving to make it fit then? Or is the stainless better because it is probably shorter??? (but harder to carve) Just don't want to trash one only to find out I should have bought the other.
Thanks
Go with the aluminum it's not as expensive and will be easier to modify. You should only have to drill the mounting holes out to fit your thermostat mounting holes. I've got both types of housings, one for the thermostat and one for direct by-pass. I may go back and try the thermostat housing when I receive the parts from Rex Marine. You can email Jason at rexmarstore@yahoo.com and he'll fill you in and should have all the parts.
