Hi John,
The company "Behr Thom(p)son near Reading manufacture thermostats and have ones to suit the Twin Cam with lower opening temperatures.
I think they do one at 75?C. I've got a few new ones they gave me years ago (due to my business connections).
I'll have a search in my box of goodies at the weekend to see what I've got if your that interested.
I don't have enough to let all forum users have one, sorry chaps.

John,
The usual suspects have cooler running 'stats. From memory they are 75 deg C. If you are stuck, I have a little used (about 1,500 mle) 75 deg one.
Hamish.
e.g. Susan Miller, SJ Sportscars, Paul Matty.

John,
THERMOSTAT Quinton Hazell ref QTH 167
from LS UK/Partco/or Factor
Note that a Nib on outer flange needs to be flattened.
It is 72 degree rated.
FWIW, Lotus used 3 official thermostats:
hot climates - 71degC/160degF,
temperate - 78degC/173degF,
cold climates - 88degC/190degF.
HTH
Regards,
Stuart.

Good morning John,
I searched high & low for those thermostats last night, with no luck; sorry.
Seems like Behr Thomson GB are no longer trading under that name, again, sorry.
Any way other posters have given you some very good tips for sources.

If you go to Partco you will have to be 'trade'. I went to the Falkirk branch a couple of weeks ago only to be told that they don't serve the 'public' 
.
There was nobody else in the branch at the time!! Another ?100 to a competitor.
