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?

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.

thanks for that info as well! this is the correct one right?

Jepp, it is.

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