Mishimoto X radiator install?

[fullCircle]

Has anyone installed one of these in a 1GA and had problems with lining up the post for the rubber mounts? I had this for a few months and now getting around to installing it. The posts are about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch off from the mounts and i have no room to move the radiator to compensate. any ideas?

it's supposed to be a direct drop in...

Talon, Laser, Eclipse 1G Info DSM There isnt a exact method but this is the basics for installing a fmic. Who says its a direct drop in, i have yet to find a fmic that is direct drop in they all take some work.

I believe he said radiator, not FMIC. I have a Fluidyne and the posts were off by a quarter inch or so. The rubber grommets are stretched to both sides.

I would work with it if it was only that far off, but it's too much off.

While it wasn't for my current issue, the link was nice. it confirmed a few things when i get to my install of FMIC. Ether way, your post helped.

I feel like a retard… the radiator initially was hanging up on a wire loom that crosses the bottom of the radiator tank. I unknowingly fixed the issue when I cut that harness loose for completely different reason. When I went to take the picture with the radiator reinstalled as per Mishimoto's request, I got the radiator to sit in the mounts correctly. I feel like for not better assessing the situation in the first place.

Hats off to Mishimoto's customer service and does fit like advertised, now i can continue with the build.
