i was trying to put a thermostat in my a-12tt today and i managed to break 2 housings in the process, so no drifting tonight

the first i was putting in the bench clamp (to clean off old gasket) and i cracked it by doing up the clamp a little too tight, it was only a small crack which i thought wasnt right through, but i tried it on the car and it leaked

the second i had it on the car and was doing up one of the bolts that hold it in place and the whole corner where the bolt was almost cracked right off!,

so then i was out of spares and am now waiting till morning

thats my whinge for tonight, im going to bed, nite!

p.s. does everyone else always snap bolts and stuff all the time?, or do i just try to do everything up too tight?, i blame it on the 30yo parts of the car most of the time but maybe im just a hack
