Default Gasket required?

I have to put a new radiator in my 93 WRX and whilst I am at it I thought I'd change the thermostat - does the letter need a gasket?

Cheers

The housing does not have a gasket on it, but the thermostat has a seal fitted that does not come with it.

Thermostat - 21200AA072

Seal - 21236AA010

Cool

Thanks Phil,

the stat I've got has a rubber seal around the edge so I guess I'm sorted.

Yup, Its ready to fit.

Be careful not to overtighten the bolts on the stat housing, as it is made of ally & the last thing you wan't to do is strip the thread. ;o)
