Anyone got one of those 90 degree elbow pieces that bolts to the right
hand water jacket and connects via a short hose to that funny
under-the-crank-pulley pipe off the water pump? (part number 025 121

It's  apparently not officially NLA, but rather on perpetual,
indefinite backorder everywhere. You should see the backwoods mechanic
jury-rig part that was on mine!

It looks like the sawed-off end of a lawn mower exhaust pipe or
something!
Anyway, looking for a new or near-new one of these.
