Got this yesterday. Going to put it on today. Looks very good. Did some searching here and got the one from a sponsor here.. I've replaced both of them on the XJ8 and XK8 in the past with plastic ones. This will be my 1st alum. one and hopefully the last.

Do you mean socket head (allen) screws? They can be tightened with ball end drives.

I preferred the aluminium finish and never considered painting it black.

>>maybe better to use a strap wrench on it<<
Will do.
>>Hey, you, how you been?<<
Very good--just named to Forbes 30 under 30 in the upcoming January 19th issue!
The XK8 is running well and has not thrown a code in ages. All repairs (very few needed over my 5+ years) are holding strong.

I have a bent wrench for removing the rear bolts that I have faith that I am never going to need again. Based on that faith I will mail it FREE to anyone replacing the thermostat tower.
All you have to do is promise to seek to send it free to the next person that needs it.
Post so that the world will know who has it.
