>>>I have tried for several months to get another inventory of these 
things; I buy them in bulk and supply them to Euro dudes.   Last time I had to 
wait a year and a half (!) before they came back into production, but I only 
bought ten of them, and sold the last one a couple of months ago.

I spoke with the Flowkooler people just last week and they said their 
supplier was discontinuing production.   The supplier was demanding a huge 
quantity buy and had also doubled the price, and they simply couldn't afford to 
buy 1000 351C thermostats at $30 each or whatever their cost was going to be.

So, you will have to make do with a conventional 351C thermostat, which 
thankfully is readily available at any auto parts store from any number of 
different manufacturers....
