ECP Radiator - Installation Notes?
Just ordered an ECP aluminum radiator for my ‘04 coupe.
Should be a straightforward swap, except a video I watched the guy had a bit of trouble attaching the lower hose. According to him, the lower fitting on the ECP is lower than the stock radiator, causing the hose to rub the front edge of the cradle.
Now, he was missing a support bushing, but once he rigged one in it was better but still not perfect.
Anyone have experience with this not lining up?
