Arrow T-stat housing fail

So lately, i have been tackling the task of rebuilding my heep.
Well today i was in the process of cleaning my t-stat housing, and under tons of grease i found that someone before me had welded a big ol' bead across it. Well i looked at it and it was way warped (that would explain my antifreeze leaking problem haha) So i figured i might as well try to get it flat again, so i pushed away that voice in my head that says "don't do it" right before i break something..... and first hit... bam... it broke in half. so basically, i need a new t-stat housing... so will the renix style housing only work, or will a H.O's bolt on too? any thoughts, ideas, or random comments haha? Thanks everyone.
