Thumbs up New Aluminum Radiator Install

I bought the last radiator early this month. I was told that all drop-in issues had been corrected. NOT SO!!! It is a nice raditator, but it is not a drop-in. A few issues needed to be addressed. Both fan housings needed small areas cut away for a proper fit. The areas around the drain plug and transmission cooler lines had to be ground away to allow fans to fit original position. This was especially important to passenger side fan because of upper radiator hose clearance (which has been a noted problem). The top mounting holes had to be slotted to allow for installation, as well. The driver's side fan needed area around transmission cooler line ground away and the mounting holes slotted. The radiator cap twist tabs touched the overflow hose clamp, so I ground about 1/32" from all four twist tabs on the cap--allowing very minimal clearance. After these minor mods, the radiator bolted in fine and so-far-so-good. See accompanying pics for visual detail in locker.
