4th gen radiator swap

Ok I have used the search but there is nothing that gives instruction or has info that is really helpfull. The most I found was "cut the post off the bottom, and get creative", so if there is anything else I would love to know.

Re: 4th gen radiator swap

Dosen't look like your going to get much help on this one.

What I would do, or think I would do.

Because you are cutting the mounting stud(s) off the bottom, I would try to use the rubber hold downs for the top on the bottom, if possible, and also the top to clamp it in place.
That will keep it from rubbing, on another metal surface and wearing a hole in it.

Re: 4th gen radiator swap

what do you do about the extra hose by the cap and what did you do about the heater line?
