Gti-6 (Xu10J4Rs) Metal Thermostat Housing?

[lybker 26 2 Cars]

Is there a direct fit upgrade for the standard plastic housing on the. U10j4rs - but made of alu or steel? Could be with a hoseconnector and clamp fitting instead of current spring and o ring joint....?

BakerBM do an adapter that allows you to use an 8v XU aluminium takeoff - usually used on 205 GTi-6 conversions.

If you are not using the original heat exchanger you can take the hose of a 306 2.0 16v (the 130 hp'ish one). That is a direct fit to the housing and has the correct diameter and angle for the original 205 radiator. You just have to cut it to the correct length at the radiator.
