What thermostat housing with renegade discharge tube

I have a Novi 2000 renegade project I am trying to finish up.I am running into a problem with the discharge tube.The way I have the tube running it is interferring with my thermostat housing.I am running the factory 90 deg. one.It looks as if a straight one would work awesome just can't find a factory style one.Anyone have this same problem that I am having.If so how did you fix it.Also anyone know where a straight thermo housing is available.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thx Chip

I got a factory style one on ebay for $5. I found them mostly there and I think Summit carries one aswell.

The one you bought off of e-bay is a straight outlet?Does it have the little heater nipple on it also.Thx Chip

Yes it has the nipple. I think Summit sells one with the nipple aswell.

Here is a link

I knew they sold the 45 degree ones but I am not certain it will clear. I know for sure a straight one would.Do you have any pics of the one you have installed.Thx Chip

Chip,

I sent you an email with some pics.

I just ordered a 90 degree swivel style and will probably point it towards the passanger side of the car and do it that way.

I have a 45 and a 90 and neither will work. The 45 could maybe work but would rub on the discharge tube big time.

Thanks for the pics Chuck.I sent you an e-mail back.I bought a 45deg. today and it looks like it is going to work.It does touch the discharge but I did not think that will cause any problems.Her are a couple of pics of the results.
