[QUOTE="racecougar, post: 13832966, member: 36945"] I just went through this myself. I managed to damage the '03-04 Cobra radiator in my XR7, with only 6k miles on it, no less, just before Christmas. After calling/emailing every Ford parts counter I could find, I ended up picking up a used unit off Corral to get me by. If a local radiator shop can repair yours, that is the route I'd take. I plan to try to get my other one repaired to be kept as a spare, seeing as how difficult they are to come by now. Mishimoto improved on their original design, but I'm still not a fan of their current design. Ford's method of securing the radiator brackets to the radiator body will be less likely to induce a stress-related leak than Mishimoto's method of bolting the radiator brackets to tapped pads welded on the endtanks. Fluidyne is the only other option I heard about, and I only read about failures within a few years of installation. [/QUOTE]
