Some advice- Thermostat housing etc - Page 2

I bought this kit the last time I changed a thermostat, its cheaper than the one you linked to and you can clearly see it comes with the two clips.

Fairly straightforward doing it from the side and does save quite a bit of time.

Does anyone know if these would be ok or should i spend a bit more on the mg one's http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-LKJ100992LP

or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-...#ht_895wt_1396

Also would i need 'O' Rings etc, Ive ordered the thermo housing + pipes just want to make sure i get everything.

UPDATE- ive ordered the 2 inlet manifold gaskets as well now so just need info above on rings etc.

Thanks again.

The thermostat housing and pipes should come complete with new seals.
