I have it but I havn't installed it yet. It's not the same pattern as the original hose but it looks like it will work and others online say that's what they use. I'll be doing it this week so if you can hang on I'll let you know

Not sure why you went with a universal radiator when the exact fit ones arent that expensive...but anyway...you can get a top plate from GbodyParts.com. Thats what I used, although I may end up using a stock 307 hold down plate and shroud when and if I convert my fan from electric to stock. Not sure the electric set up is that much better for cooling for stock set ups....just my opinion.CdnCutlass said:I have this same problem too. I am using a Summit universal rad. I had to cut the rad support and drop it two inches. The rad sits flush with the top of the support now and I have some hose I found at the parts store that fits, but it rubs the idler arm due to the lack of clearance between the idler arm and outlet on the rad.
What are you guys using for a rad hold down?

I dont know the price of a universal, but the exact fit radiator is about 150.00 at AZ....FE3X CLONE said:bill said:Not sure why you went with a universal radiator when the exact fit ones arent that expensive
Depends if you consider $100-$150 difference in price "not that expensive".
