    Lower Radiator Mounts misaligned

    Was working on my build, and got to installing the radiator, however the pins on the bottom of the radiator were too narrow to fit in the lower bushings/isolators. I was installing a Mishimoto, so I grabbed the OEM to check, and it too was too narrow. Pin center to pin center on both radiators is 52mm, but center to center on the mounting holes is 54mm. Am I missing something, or is it possible the mounts on my radiator support were misaligned? Thanks!

    Pretty sure you mean 52cm. The holes for the bushings in our chassis also don't result in a perfect fit for OEM or aftermarket radiators. Seems like a mismeasurement at FFR. There is enough give in our bushings to make it work. Put one pin in, then shift the radiator toward the other bushing while inserting. Hopefully that will get you there.
