Not sure if you mean the actual heater core itself or the heater motor. If it's the motor, get anything OTHER than the bedford one! Wire in another one with at least 2 speeds. I put in a mazda motor and I'm warm as toast now! You'll need to make up another plate to fit the motor to the firewall. Another great motor is a 3 speed VW Golf which you can also find in some Audis.
1976 SWB CF, 186 block, LPG customised VK EFI self ported Head, LPG converted Ram tube manifold, Extractors, Supra 5 speed, Falcon hwy Diff, HQ Disc brakes, Commodore 3 core cross-flow radiator, HEI, 90 litre LPG.
It can drive up a wall in 5th gear and across the Sun without overheating!

Hi Guys appreciated .... but leads to more questions!
Ben, it Scott here, we have chatted re heater parts on the phone before, and Im still interested -

Rothu, I am keen to find out more about other heater types going in as well though before I commit to purchase and installation, so if you have any idea where I can get one of these, and who do I get to install it - that will help too (im in clifton hill melbourne).

mty - cheers for the offer, but Im in Melbourne! Frieght may be an option....what kinda condition is it? I need for RWC.

Ben - where can I get a new screen? Any idea on cost?

Cheers guys!
Scott

$618 was for screen - rubber & install. When i said it was great, what i meant was the price for the rubber and glass, yeh double for install is rediculous, sorry should of been more clear. Thats why i got the separate prices for glass and rubber, because i would fit it myself. If you check back a bit i gave some prices for novus, and i think from memory their glass was about $360, so I think $160 for the screen, new,  is a good price.
