    As some of you may know I changed the engine in my 900 Thunderbird , I'm starting to put it all back together and found that the elbow that returns water to the back of the engine from the water pump is a different size ( holes are 50mm apart were 42mm apart) I phoned world of triumph but without a vin number they cant help me.
    I tried looking at early vin numbers and later vin numbers and both give the same part number ? The only info I have is it's a 2002 engine and engine number , any suggestions?

    Am afraid you've jumped all over Havit's thread here Derek but 3 hot/cold starts should clear it....not sure how to clear all 3 repeats of your question or the underlining thing you've got going on though.
    @Havit, sorry mate no idea but am sure there are enough knowledgable people who will be able to.
