Hi John, we’ve chatted about this on the BX Club UK FB page here;
https://www.facebook.com/groups/bxclubUK/permalink/10162929612832571/
It should be possible to slide the heater core out past the steering column mount (once the earth post is removed) without doing any damage. If you need a little more room, there are two bolts in the scuttle area (either side of the HVAC inlet) that secure the top of the box. There are then two legs at the bottom of the box that secure the HVAC box in place. Undo all four of these bolts and the HVAC box will drop a little.

Hope that get you sorted

I struggling to get the greater matrix out – it is fouling on the frame that the steering column mounts to. Any ideas please?

Hi James, at the risk of creating a spoiler, the tap normally gets wedged in the closed position. Then you try to turn the dial on the dash and snap the knob off. I need to get out to the garage to get some additional pictures, but hopefully, the reason it gets stuck will be clear in Part4.
Cheers
M

Took me about ten minutes to change the valve on my Minor ; )
