I ordered them through a fuel injection rebuilder shop using that Bosch number a while ago and they were able to get them no problem, I think around $40 each. Not bad.

Following your other R&D on the oil cooler thermostat reengineering project, looks like you have a clever solution in the works for that, thanks for sharing it.

That was a long 3 day weekend to get it rebuilt. I had complete access to that nice shop and had to get it done and out of the way. I'll have weekend access until I get it complete.

I'll check with my local Bosch pump and turbo shop and see if they can still get them here.

I'll keep the oil cooler thermostat thread going as I do more research.
