Probably best to buy a new thermostat from Awesome Powdercoat, but here's a link that describes the process of repairing one...look under "repair" in the middle of the page. It involves brazing / soldering and using isopropyl alcohol as the expanding medium.
Please post back if you try this and it works! http://www.ratwell.com/technical/Thermostats.html |

That being said I will check the old one I have and if I can use the process outlined in the post I will give it a try. Will let everyone know how it works out. Thanks for the input and leads. |

I purchased one from Awesome about 3 1/2 years ago. Easy transaction, still working fine. For $10 consider buying a new cable also. |
