And it’s not going to be possible so get sub-ambient air without a cooling device either.

But another thought...thinking

Howerver it might just be possible to recirculated ambient air within the cabin, if you were prepared to sacrifice the radio space. You could always mount a bank of PC fans across the radio aperture to stir the air. That would pull in ambient cabin air from the existing heater box outlets and blow it forward. Little risk of warm air being pulled through the heater matrix as it would most probably just short circuit, pulling air from the least line of resistance through those outlet vents.

You might even be able to mount something like this in the radio aperture, although might not be so powerful.

PS – Do you really need a radio in a Morgan. I’ve never ever used mine grin2

Worth mentioning that whilst poking around heater box with my head in passenger footwell I noticed a significant hole in back of box behind radio although hidden underneath in photo.

With my hand in gap between back of box and bulkhead I could reach with several fingers and touch inside of footwell vent!
