1996 new radiator options

[97GT4.6]

I put in mine today, and it was a huge pain in the ass. None of the brackets lined up with the grommets, it was super frustrating. and mine wasn't welded straight either, probably causing the problems. :crying:

Yeah, That sounds like you had a bad weld on the side tanks since you had to fight it to go in.

No need to modify anything. Just get the one that fits your 96 mustang and it will drop right in. I just installed mine last weekend with no problems.

You ever get the bracket issue resolved? That's the only problem I remember we had with it.

Hey 9psi98, I left the bracket alone since we did get one bolt to hold the bracket. Even with one bolt in the drivers side bracket the radiator is not going to move. I did noticed my water temp. has gone down alot since we installed the radiator. :banana: I can't believe that mishimoto does not make a radiator for the 96 auto.
