Title: possible replacement shutter 'stat Post by: lancianut666 on 10 July, 2019, 07:21:07 PM Hi all
Had a request for an Appia shutter thermostat see piccy Clarkey Title: Re: possible replacement shutter 'stat Post by: chriswgawne on 10 July, 2019, 09:29:41 PM Fairly sure I have one. Back home from holiday Sunday so will check then.

Thanks for that - I'll have to work out if it will fit the Augusta. The shutters on mine are absolutely mint but the thermostat fixing with the lugs which form the pivot for the operating bell crank are broken and the exit point from front of the radiator header tank soldered up. If I can I'd like to make it work again.

I got it from Don Cross many years ago but I cannot remember which series Appia thermostat was used (if indeed they vary by series!)

I won't be able to decide on the thermostat project until I find out whether the rad is repairable. Should know next week but meantime thanks to all for the info.
Mike Title: Re: possible replacement shutter 'stat Post by: chriswgawne on 21 July, 2019, 03:55:32 PM Sorry for the delay but is any of this a help?
I have 3 working radiator shutter actuating stats, 2 of which are Aurelia size. The slightly smaller one has no markings and is new and unused. I also have a complete set of the fittings from the top of an Aurelia radiator to work the shutters including the thermostat holder and one separate thermostat holder. Hope this helps. Chris |
