I can't see any obvious thermstat housing on the JWR manifold I have on my 4.6L Rover v8.

Is that normal?

When I had my old RV8....with a couple of manifolds that didn't have a stat mount, I just had to use a remote stat instead. First was in a fabricated housing, the next was an inline hose stat I think from a Renault or something, it shoves up the top hose.
