heater valve

[Lilihip]

Is this correct heater valve for 1964/1965 Mini 850?

My 64 850 had a heater take off like a later 89 but it had an arm on it :S not got a pic unfortally someone may have a clue on here

Does that one lean to the left or the right (from the front).

It looks like it is right leaning (towards the R/C) if it is, it won't fit. It needs to lean away from the RC, or at worst be vertical.

I just checked - it is a straight fit. I am looking for original item, most important for me is that it is as it left the factory. originally it should be angled?

[mk1]

Yes, originally from the factory it should have been angled away from the R/C.

Apart from leaning to one side, the vertical pipe going into the valve from below should have a square shape rather than a round shape. So the valve on the photo is not the version for mk1 minis.

Jepp, it is.

By the way a very nice engine bay indeed, so always good as a reference.
