Well, i hope these thermostats work ok. I got them from motorcarsltd.com But they do not have a jiggle pin.

Having an actual pin isn't so important but they should have a steam relief hole in the mounting face and the bypass disc at the rear.

Jiggle pin makes no difference, but you do need a small hole in the flange. I just use 1/8" drill and add one hole to each stat and no problem.
