1995 Defender 90 300 Tdi PU Caledonian Blue

heater matrix

has anybody fitted a later straight pipe matrix into an early curved pipe heater box? i know its a strange question but the heater box is missing from the 90 i am rebuilding and i have an early box but the new silicone hoses i have are for a 300tdi which has the straight pipes.hope this makes sense.

1987 Defender 90 200 Tdi HT Barolo Black

I have a 200tdi Disco engine in my 1987 90. The old matrix was the same as yours, with curved pipes. Ive replaced the matrix with a new one (part of the chassis change) like for like. The fuse box that fits under the pipes hasn't enough room, thats why they zip tied it elsewhere. To be honest I cant see an issue replacing it with straight pipes, other than the hoses on mine would need to be changed to fit...In hindsight I'd have bought the straight option.
