When I bought my MKI in 1971 it came with a bad motor.
The local auto parts store couldn't get a new one even way
back then. BUT, they sent mine out and had it re-wound,
its worked great ever since. There are still auto electrical
shops, I bet they could fix it easier than adapting something...

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Tiger blower motor
Brent,
I have the MG Midget motor. Not sure if the MGA is the same. It is
shorter than the stock Tiger motor. Be gentle getting the cage off. I wound
up using this same Midget motor (running backwards) in my Pinto as the short
length cleared the turbo elbow. Heater fan motors are pretty easy to adapt
if originality isn't important. Metal plates and electrical stand-offs can
be used if you can't locate anything acceptable.
I quickly found a picture of the MG fan at a forum discussing heater motor
improvement for the MGB http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,1532236 .
There might be something to glean from it. Don't forget you can always pull
up the floor mat and/or remove a firewall plug and get heat too. :-)
Tom
After 35 years with no heater I'm in the market for a new heater blower
motor,
any one
have a good source? I see moss has one that looks right and is from a MGA.
Brent
