quick ? about radiators
tcoop474:
I ordered a new plastic kit yesterday and dont want to put the shrouds on the k5 due to my radiators being bowed inwards so bad.
I found some 86 radiators on ebay but the left side is like 60$ + shipping then the right is about the same 70 + shipping 130$ seems outrageous to me.
i found a pair of aluminum radiators for 88-04 k5s what is the difference? Will the radiators work or the mounts in different placed?
Thanks,
Tommy

Foxx4Beaver:
Do some research on them....there's been a few guys that bought them,and had to do some re-fab work(mostly the mounts) to make them fit/line up correctly.

I can't offer you any tips on the rad fitment question, but FYI, do NOT be tempted to forcefully bend the bent rads back into position ! I guarantee the rads will crack and leak where the tubes are soldered to the tanks.

I did research i found some pics where a member did it and had to relocate the brackets.
