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 href="https://mossmotors.com/heater-core-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://mossmotors.com/heater-core-1<br><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> Here's a place list Morgan heater core replacements:<br><br> <a href="http://classicfordradiator.com/newheatercoresforbritishvehicles.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> http://classicfordradiator.com/newheatercoresforbritishvehicles.aspx<br> <br> </a> <a href="http://classicfordradiator.com/morrisminormorganrangeroverroundheatercore.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> http://classicfordradiator.com/morrisminormorganrangeroverroundheatercore.aspx<br> <br> </a>For Morris Minor, Rover, Morgans for $500<br><br> <br> Let me know what you find!<br><br> John </span>
