Hello all,
I am in the middle of replacing the heater core. The issue that I am having is that the two replacement units that I have received from Rockauto are not right. The bends on the pipes are not right and therefore do not allow the plastic piece that holds the core in place, to sit right and be screwed down. I have a 1999 mitsubishi eclipse gs. I have ordered both heater cores listed on rockauto, for my specific year and model, but both have the incorrect bends. Does anybody have any additional part numbers or any advice? I don't have time to be buying a core and sending it back until I get the one that I can use (I live in Alaska and winter is about to start for us)? I have attached a picture that shows the old core (top) vs incorrect new (bottom).
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Oscar
