Except for the small bleed hole on the thermostat, the housing is a dead end for coolant flow until the thermostat opens. The temp sensor actually lags behind the actual temp during warm-up.
If I had that housing I'd want to see if I could drill and tap for a bypass spigot. At the same time I'd like to see if a different thermostat would fit (what Spud mentioned).

Great idea , a spigot directly into the thermostat housing , I think your right, that would do the trick, brilliant
Think I might have to purchase a spare thermostat housing to play with
