[Morgans] Morgan Heater cores

[Richard Cooperman]

First, I would like to thank all those who responded to my cry for help,all the advice is truly appreciated.
 
This and refinishing my wooden dashboard panel will be my winter projects.  I have a bias towards keeping the car as original as possible but I will certainly explore my options.  I will report back as I move forward.
 
Again thanks ever so much.
 
Richard

Yes, the little square one is similar and with a little ingenuity you can hang the cover from the Smith's heater on it.

One of these might be a workable solution.

Mine died years ago.  I found a small accessory type heater from J.C. Whitney or the like, a square box with a two speed blower that still fits under the dash and attached the Smith's front panel with the opening doors to it with some clips.  From what you can see it looks like the original heater and actually throws out some heat with a two speed fan and a real core.

 Richard,

 It's supprising how much of the old skills are going away.  The newer radiators are
 partially made of plastic.  So the old shops can't do much with them.  Then the
 shops go out of business.  Bummer.

 Unforunately, no.  I'm not sure but I think that some other cars of that era, like the TR-3s, MGAs might have use similar heaters.  I remember a round heater in
 my old TR-3s.  I went looking through Moss Motors on-line catalog and found a 
 round heater core for a Healey 100-4.  It was $800.  So your $300 for a Rover
 core isn't bad.  Here's a core for a TR3 at $500:

As a last resort, it seems to me that one of the aftermarket AC companies makes custom items.  I thought the company was in GA or FL.  Doing a google search 
 I see a couple of companies in TX.  So maybe that's where they are.  But it would
 be worth a phone call to see if the can do custom work, if so, send them a picture
 of your heater core and some measurements and see what they give you for a quote.

 Here's a place list Morgan heater core replacements:
