There is a black rubber hose about 1 1/2" in diameter attached to the top part of the radiator. On the other end of that hose is an aluminum "gooseneck" fitting that bolts on to the Head with two bolts. The Thermostat is inside that "gooseneck". Be careful, it's fragile. You should use a new gasket when replacing the "gooseneck" back on the Head.
