[QUOTE="earico, post: 10710002, member: 114682"] So I bought my car with a Fluidyne in it. It was leaking badly. I am almost certain it was from the radiator being in a bind because it had nowhere to move. So I went with the Mishimoto and installed their radiator stays. The unit is a great looking piece. It comes fully polished too. This unit has plenty of wiggle room and hopefully won't leak. Thanks to Lethal Performace for the goods :rockon: They don't list the Mishitmoto stays on their site but they can get them for you if you ask. Here is the link: [url=http://www.mishimoto.com/97-04-ford-mustang-aluminum-radiator-stay-set.html]Ford Mustang Aluminum Radiator Stay Set, 1997-2004 , by Mishimoto[/url] Jimmy, thanks for PMing me about the tstat. Here are the pics. My hitech skyhook to hold the ABS block while I slot the bracket to slide it back a little. This allows for the ABS lines to not be putting pressure on the back of the fan and radiator: [ATTACH=full]189006[/ATTACH] Bracket before slotting: [ATTACH=full]189007[/ATTACH] Bracket after slotting & repainting. I used large fender washers to clamp this slotted bracket down: [ATTACH=full]189008[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189009[/ATTACH] Radiator: [ATTACH=full]189010[/ATTACH] Radiator installed. Notice the flexible Mishimito radiator stays: [ATTACH=full]189011[/ATTACH] Clearance now with ABS block slid back. It's still close but trust me. Now I can wiggle the radiator on the passenger side. Before when I did a test fit I couldn't wiggle it at all! [ATTACH=full]189012[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189013[/ATTACH] BTW. You will have to drill new holes in your radiator support to move the intercooler reservoir back a little to accommodate the thicker radiator. Edit.
