halfords do sell em,,,,,,,,,,,, but there the wrong one, you have to make holes for em 
basically its a multifit gasket with all the drillings but one of em line up properly

how many people have ball bearings lying about

even when you have a hole punch, sods law says it won't be the right size

just swapped the thermostat for an 88 degree one. managed to use the old gasket again.
temp sits about half way.
fans still run alot more than they used to tho but think thats to do with the cams and not being mapped yet i.e running abit hotter

cos it has not been mapped for the new cams yet...(wilder than BD10's)
spoken to a couple of experts on this subject and both confirmed the same... something t do with the vaccum in the inlet manifold now being different.
my understanding is...
longer duration and higher lift = more air but without the fuel to match it will be running leaner=hotter
wil be sorted when the management is fitted and mapped
