James did mine, and spoke of a "bastard bolt"!
Reminded me of the short and sometimes convoluted transfer hose on the BMC 'A' Series engine - anyone else remember it? - it went between the block and the head and was another inspiration for colourful language!

Thanks all i'm going to give it a go , just ordered thermostat from dealers. regarding the "b" bolt is this what holds transfer pipe securely, read the guide , one thing do i leave thermostat in place and pull pipe out or would you undo thermostat and wiggle/pull off that way? thanks everyone

Hammer and cold chisel most effective way of liberating the transfer pipe :y

Hence the suggestion to buy a new one before starting... especially if they're on back order :-\
