Anybody seen one with a hole in the side?

My old Nissens rad had the sensor hole in the back of the radiator (by the tranny line) but this new Genuine Volvo radiator has it in the SIDE of it.

All this, after two FCP employees insisted that the radiator came with the plug already installed. Not only is it not installed, it is not even in the box. So my car is sitting apart in the drive way.

Also, I dont really see how I can safety wire this thing with the sensor plug on the side. I am half considering returning this otherwise nice quality radiator for a cheaper Nissens one which at least I can safety wire.


(I really dont understand the logic of not having a plug that cannot be securely screwed in, but that is another gripe.)

Anybody have one of these with the sensor hole in the side? Any suggestions? Is it essential that I safety wire this? What do you all recommend?

Thank you all!
