> sectioned view (figure 20). The ones in the figures appear to have longer

> from Turner has a smaller profile without the extended bellows and looks
> more like the conventional thermostats I've seen in most cars.

> Question: Is the thermostat with the longer bellows desirable or
required?
> Was the configuration changed after the manual was published and/or is the
> one I got from Turner a good alternate?
