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

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<br>
my old TR-3s. I went looking through Moss Motors on-line catalog
and found a <br>
round heater core for a Healey 100-4. It was $800. So your
$300 for a Rover<br>
core isn't bad. Here's a core for a TR3 at $500:<br>

</a>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 <br>
I see a couple of companies in TX. So maybe that's where they
are. But it would<br>
be worth a phone call to see if the can do custom work, if so, send them
a picture<br>
of your heater core and some measurements and see what they give you for
a quote.<br><br>
