My alternative method: I had good luck manually operating the radiator shutters on my 39 Cadillac 60 Special with a choke/throttle cable. Disconnected the failed thermostat and connected the cable wire to the shutter operating lever. Mounted the knob end of the cable under the instrument panel with a shop made bracket using existing holes. This "fix" looked good and worked well. However, after some time I bit the bullet and got the proper rebuilt thermostat. An inexpensive and easy alternate fix. JWL
