Re: All Aluminium Radiator. Anyone know where?

Just finished putting mine in... ran out of daylight... as always

The one I got had no issues with clearance... however had a lot of hassle fitting on the hoses running from the engine as the fans left no room for the hoses to slip on... will have pictures up later but in words: the tranny cooler "nipples" and the drain plug are pretty close on the bottom... same with the upper and lower outlets and inlets for the engine hoses... so if you mount the fans and then attempt to get the hoses on... you will phail unless you cut some plastic on the fans (which I didn't really feel like doing)... so what I did was mount the rad into the car then get the hoses on then get the fans on... worked out fine... didn't run the car yet...

Tomorrow will have to get a tiny hose clamp for the overflow hose as the nipple on the radiator is probably about half the size in diameter as the stock one and also will get more coolant...
