Hi. Been lurking a while here but not posted in this forum before. Hope you can help, sorry if I'm asking dim questions.
I want to fit a calorifier so need to work out how to connect it to the engine - a Peugeot Indenor dtp62 (same base engine as a VP MD21A apparently, but the marinising kit is different). The only book I have for the engine is in Dutch, and it's not very detailed!
Hopefully this link will take you to some photos:

The first photo shows the front view of the engine - heat exchanger on the left and water pump central. The two larger horizontal pipes link the water pump and the heat exchanger
The lower of these pipes has a threaded plug in it - but this pipe doesn't get very hot so I assume this is where the return from the calorifier should go. The upper pipe does get hot, but there's no tapping in this. Could I cut this pipe and fit a t-piece to provide a feed for the calorifier, or should I look elsewhere?
Another dim question - where's the thermostat? Is it in one of the rubber fittings?
