ColonelDan Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I need a heat riser thermostatic coil spring for my recently acquired 1950 Dodge Coronet. The valve seems to move very well but the spring is just flopping on the shaft. Can anyone recommend where I might obtain a new spring?

Solution DJ194950 Posted July 19, 2016 Solution Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Check with-oldmoparts.com as seen on the reference section line at the top of the forums list above-under links. $22 approx. from them maybe others listed in this section. They do show it in their online catalog. Best, DJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Then-N-Now Automotive, also known as Antique Auto Parts Cellar is my "go to" place for the thermostatic spring. Its my understanding that they are the ones that get them made and supply the other old Mopar parts vendors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelDan Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks guys. I found the spring at oldmoparts.com but couldn't at then-n-now automotive. I did leave them a message and anticipate a replay which may indicate they have what I need even though I couldn't find it on their site. Thanks again for your assistance.

_shel_ny Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Just bear in mind that some sourcing this part have received a spring that either was wound the wrong way, or not made of the correct material to result in proper operation. I believe the vendor addressed the problem to satisfaction. Not pointing, not naming names. Right the first time is always better Search this site, or someone may chime in with their story.
