Hello,Thanks for the info. Late last year I was corresponding with Max Merrit re choke thermostat. At that time nothing was available, as was the position at Kanter. I decided that I would attempt to make a small number of these thermostats, using the one I got from Flackmaster,as an example. To date I have made the basic unit and only now need the bi-metallic coil to complete them. I have not been able to get a small [or any] quantity of this material. However after many experiments I have now reached the stage where I need to investigate the possibility of joining the 2 metal strips by riveting them together, as was done in the early cays of bi-metallic strip manufacture.
However I have not given up on my search for the material. I will also contact Max Merrit.
Regards. dnielsen
