so nice new radiator...but that plug on the old original radiator seems like it screws in to the rad ...the new plastic one has no threads so how do I make the transfer?

    I am glad you are getting the grommet from FCPG.

    Instillation tip; lay the radiator down on the cardboard box and then insert the thermostat. It takes a bit of force to get it in. Lubricant used was spit. I can't remember for sure but I may have had to use a pair of pliers near the end, gently, to give it a twist.

    Yes, the Nissens I got recently had the rubber grommet and a plastic plug (only used if you don't have a thermostat) in a parts bag packed under the rad. So look there or check in the carton. It's actually supposed to be a dry fit. Try using soapy water as a lube before advancing to anything else.

      Thanks, I stand corrected. Use the proper lube to achieve fit and seal. Here it is in the FAQ too...

      "Radiator Sensor Seal. [Inquiry] The temperature sensor on radiator popped out because the rubber seal loosened. I lost all my coolant. How do I reinstall it? [Response] The seals are supposed to be installed once and replaced when they fail or are removed. OEM seals are imprinted "one use only". Do not use sealer or adhesive while installing, but you need to lube it with a waterbased lubricant such as soap or rubber lube to install. To install, first seat the rubber gasket in the hole, them push in the sensor. It expands the gasket to a tight fit. Buy two seals and carry a spare. Since the seal might have popped out due to overpressure, now is the time to inspect the cooling system for any plugged hoses, failed thermostat, etc. "

    It uses a press in rubber grommet that usually comes with a new Nissens. Lube it up a little and wiggle it in.
