Mark Shaw Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 You might find a modern one to fit between the head and the metal top radiator tube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes in the hose - most folks set it against the metal inlet pipe and use a third hose clamp to keep it from sliding in the hose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albtrossca Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I read in another post that you used a Volvo thermostat? Do you recall which one you used? A part number? Is it a thermostat that mounts under the tube on the cylinder head? I have a 34 Dictator and it is the same engine as yours. I don't believe the car originally came with a thermostat but it makes sense to use one. Your car looks great! Thanks. Derek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herman de boer Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 Derek Yes it's the same situation where the thermostat is by a Volvo Amazon engine So I thought,I can use that thermostat also in the engine head from the studebaker rockne I made a different gasket for to keep 5he thermostat inside I believe there must be a thermostat if you see the place between the head/gooseneck See photos But I can be wrong ? Yes, I'm happy about the colour I believe if the car is totally finished and driving I will make people happy for renting the car out for marriage or a day fun I want to give people a great feeling of joy Another question I have to chrome the door handles and the spare wheel holders (zamak) Together it are 18 parts At the chrome factory they asked 300 euro a part That's together 18x300=5400 euro Is is it also expensive in the USA It's a lot of money Take a look at the photos I took from the thermostat place in The engine head Herman The Netherlands 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Your chrome prices seem very inflated. It might be cheaper to send them to another country to have the work done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 The 1928-40 Catalog of Chassis Parts for 6-cylinder engines shows a sketch of the thermostat for a 1932 Rockne (Models 30 and 41). However, the part numbers are different for the two models. What is the model of your Rockne? Model 30 = 183307 thermostat Model 41 = 183306 thermostat The gasket will not hold the thermostat down. You may need a short tube to put on the thermostat. The tube will fit in the water outlet. See the attached sketch from the parts catalog, Type A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rockne is a 65 The gasket I made is a iron gasket so I think it will fit properly for a long time If not? I will use your recommendation A tube above the thermostat that fit inside the gooseneck and hold the thermostat down Thanks Gary Enjoy the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlightcoupe Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Original thermostat in the 1932 Rockne 65 and 1933 Rockne 30, per the 1932 Service Manual, was set to start opening when engine temperature reaches 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F. (60C-63C). It's difficult to find a thermostat operating that low today. (If anyone finds one, point me in that direction.) I've heard some folks will drill one, two or three 1/8" holes in a hotter thermostat collar to allow some flow before the valve itself starts to open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1932 Rockne 65 is identified in the Parts Catalogs as Studebaker model 30. Same car. The 1933 Rockne 10 is identified in the Parts Catalogs as Studebaker model 31. Same car. The 1932 Rockne 75 is identified in the Parts Catalogs as Studebaker model 41. The '32 '65' and the '33 '10' are identical in practically all aspects, and unique from all other Studebakers. The '32 '75' is basically a Studebaker '55' with Rockne badging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallo sir Take a look at internet And write (thermostat 60 degree) And you will find several website that sells 60 degree thermostat Maybe also a little bit higher in degree But there are still for sell,only if they fit That's another question I will buy one that is in my opinion the best choice I take a risk, I know to loose some money I have to put the thermostat with another selfmade gasket I think in the engine head But I will solve Thanks for your advice Herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
