Yup, that=E2=80=99s mine.

I don=E2=80=99t recall the change points offhand, but some TRs had a brass =
adapter in the front carb body as original.  Those carbs are from my 59 TR3=
A, but the adapter and nut are original to the carb.  The line was replaced=
 with copper a long time ago (original was steel, broken before I got the c=
ar).

The only thing I changed to mount the heat shield was to open up the hole j=
ust a bit, so the nut would fit through it.  I think the original size was =
OK, but it got distorted a bit when the adjacent bend was made.

I told Joe A. about it, so most likely the current crop of heat shields doe=
sn=E2=80=99t have that problem.
