Probably better known as a heater matrix!
Are there different types- namely where the bleed valve exits ? I acquired one in a box of spares when I bought Betsy. I am now in need of one as the one in the car is leaking (understatement !!) but the bleed valve appears to be located in a different place.
I have a local radiator refurb place but think costs will escalate quite rapidly.

Bleeder types - One comes out the side and one comes out the back. The heater box casing has a matching hole. I think side is early and rear is late but I don't know what year they changed. Add a hole in the case to match the matrix if needed and put a grommet in the unused hole.

Mines a 67 (Betsy67)
Mine exits at the back at the mo, but the spare I have looks like it will be a side exit.

Does this mean you have a 'rear' exit one for sale? I'm not really into drilling holes if it can be avoided.
