The thermostat mounting assembly is used to support a thermostat at a location between an engine block and a radiator. The housing has a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port with a support assembly used to rigidly fix the thermostat in place within the housing. A manually operable mechanism is connected to the housing to effect a continuous flow of coolant liquid to by-pass the position of the thermostat between the engine block and the radiator.

An apparatus for establishing a continuous flow of a coolant liquid to bypass a standard thermostat located between an engine block and a radiator wherein the thermostat includes a thermostatic element, a valve element, a valve seat and a spring acting as a biasing means to force the valve element against the valve seat, said apparatus comprising: (a) a housing having only a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port with said inlet and outlet ports having a structural configuration for coupling to a radiator hose, (b) support means located between the inlet and outlet ports in said housing for rigidly fixing the thermostat, within said housing, and (c) manually operable means connected to said housing to effect a continuous flow of the coolant liquid bypassing the thermostat between the engine block and the radiator, (d) said manually operable means includes direct engagement means to force the movable valve element of the standard thermostat from a closed position in which the valve element fails to open on normal operation to an open position which allows a continuous flow of coolant liquid to pass, (e) the manually operable means includes handle means mounted on one external end of a rigid shaft member extending through the housing with the other end of the shaft member being inside the housing, (f) said engagement means includes brace means mounted to the inside end of the shaft member and having a structural configuration to contact said movable valve element.
