Swapped out the radiator in my 88 FJ62 for an aluminum replacement from cruiser corps.
Got it in, it’s running beautifully… But, I ran into 2 snags.
It was supposed to be plug and play, but it seems like they forgot to send me some fittings.
The original lower line elbow fitting was too long, and would not tighten down to the elbow (the original fitting tightens completely flush to the original radiator)… not a problem, I was able to cleanly cut a few mils of threading off to correct the problem.
Also, the new radiator comes with (or was supposed to come with) a threaded nipple fitting for the overflow hose… it did not come with the new radiator.
Any one happen else run into this; if so, do you happen to know what size threaded nipple needs to be used?
