Bob,

I have the 45 degree elbow part from one of the big three, just don't
remember which one.  The top of the elbow has a wider body and it won't spin
around completely.  I can't even take the thing off.  I think I put it on
when the head was off and thought it was tight.  Now with head installed, I
can't get it back out or tighten enough

Jim

Jim,

The part you need is the elbow. Part # 133061. Plate # AR10 on page 99 in
the TR4 parts list.

It is about 45% and I have mine pointed slightly to the rear so no problem
with the valve. This is on my early 63 which should be the same for the 62.

Bob

Still working on my restoration of my 1962 TR4.  I have a new heater valve
inlet pipe installed in the head.  I noticed that it is loose in the threads
and that you cannot completely turn it to tighten as it hits up against the
first cylinder head stud and nut.  Even with the stud nut removed, it would
still hit against the head stud.  It looks like the correct part per the
factory parts catalog.  The question is how to tighten this pipe?  It
appears it needs to be a little higher so it doesn't catch against the head
stud and can spin freely.  At this stage I am thinking of cutting the top of
the pipe off so I can remove and start over.  The parts catalog doesn't show
if it has a straight pipe extension going into head first and then the 45
degree elbow pipe screws into that.  That is what looks like is needed.  Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated before cutting this bugger out.

Cheers,
