PFA Reproduction DB6 and DB6 MKII Thermostat Housing
New Production: Aston Martin Later DB6 & DB6 Mk2 Thermostat Housing (OE 55-06-137)
Introducing our newly reproduced thermostat housing specifically engineered for later Aston Martin DB6 and DB6 Mk2 variants. As these original components approach 60 years of age, many are suffering from significant corrosion, compromised threads, and degraded sealing surfaces, leading to unreliable cooling system performance and potential coolant leaks. Our high-quality replica offers a direct, robust replacement to restore your classic Aston Martin’s integrity.
Addressing Age-Related Issues in Later DB6 Models
The cooling system is vital for any classic car, and the thermostat housing plays a critical role. Original housings on later DB6 and DB6 Mk2 models frequently exhibit advanced corrosion, making them prone to failure. This often results in stripped threads for the temperature sender or inadequate sealing, causing frustrating and potentially damaging coolant loss. Our precision-engineered reproduction addresses these common weaknesses, providing a durable solution for your cherished vehicle.
Enhanced Durability for Long-Term Reliability
While meticulously recreated to match the original form, our new DB6 Mk2 thermostat housing incorporates a key improvement for enhanced longevity. We have added an extra 2mm of material to the height of the temperature capillary boss. This thoughtful design upgrade ensures significantly more thread engagement for the temperature sender, providing a more secure and resilient connection that can better withstand engine vibrations and thermal cycles. This detail means improved reliability and reduced risk of leaks for your Aston Martin DB6.
Precision Manufacturing with Brand New Tooling
Each of these Aston Martin thermostat housings has been produced using brand new tooling as of January 2025. This commitment to modern, dedicated tooling guarantees exceptional precision, consistent quality, and an exact fit, ensuring that this critical cooling system component meets the highest standards expected for your vintage DB6 or DB6 Mk2.
