[T3] Heater hose

[Keith Park]

Yes, remove the thermostat and cap the top.  I had to do it for the T4
conversion and just left it that way, you get better heat flow.  The risk is
running with the heat on in the summer that might burn the paint on the
rockers but I haven't found a problem if I haven't done anything dumb.

You can melt you passengers shoes off though... but that's possible even
with a stock system.

Do you mean remove the thermostat from the housing? Our build a new plate
and hose adapter?
