Can you find another radiator shop close by??? We have an older shop here that will actually order the pieces it takes to "make up" a heater core but I'll admit, its a bit pricey at around 200 bucks but then most of us would never have to worry about it in our live time....or at least it could be repaired later.
Don't give up just yet...........

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
