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

        <p class="MsoNormal">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
