+2 Heater Matrix compatibility

Hello All,
Next stage of my 1971 130S restoration is the heater.
What is the current thinking on a compatible matrix? I have seen Fiestas and MK1 Escorts mentioned but the measurements seem to be a fair bit out compared to mine which is 275mm long, 55mm deep 153mm tall (excluding pipes).
What are people using for the replacement rubber sealing strips and heater door foam?
Thanks to all
Kieran

Hi
I have done this a few times before and use the early Fiests one. Usually from Ebay. Its a bit shorter and thinner, but works just fine. On the last one I also also fitted the electric matrix from a MK7 Fiesta below it, but thats another story so to speak. There is a thread on this somewhere on the forum.
All the best

Zetec+ 2 under const, also 130S. And another 130S for complete restoration. Previously Racing green +2s with green tints. Yellow +2 and a couple of others, all missed. Great to be back 04/11/2021 although its all starting to get a bit out of control.

Hi
I think it was an appropriately shaped piece of wood and silicone sealer.
I may have a photo, that’s if I can find it that is…..

Hi There
On the the page linked to below there are pictures of my matrix arrangement. It looks like I may have used some hard solid plastic along with the silicone sealant instead of wood in this case.
Edit: For got the link!
