As above really folks the K head has no thermostat mounting like the A series so how / where do people mount them?

The most common method ive seen is using 2 A series thermostat housings back to back with the thermostat sandwiched in between. Its located in the same position as the A series in relation to the head and rad. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Some older Fiats used an external Thermostat. Might be worth a look.

You can pick up "external" thermostats from various kit car suppliers - which can be made to work well and have bypass systems in them
