Default SC300 Radiator Question

I got a radiator from Gazi to replace the one with a broken neck I had sitting in my first project car. The problem was that he sent me one for a manual tranny (or his partner did rather). My question is in regards to hooking this thing up - I've been to every local hardware store and auto parts place trying to find fittings for this that I can mate my stock lines to.

My old radiator (92 SC3) had the 90* Elbows on it, instead of this:



SO, what should I do? I was going to tap them out and replace them with brand new fittings, but I'd prefer not to do that if I can find out exactly what parts I need from the forum. Thanks in advance!

You need to get an automatic radiator.

you can get a plug for it. The threads are metric so you won't find any fittings in a hardwear store.
Try a salvage yard. I got my plug from the water neck on a Datsun 280zx water neck.
Darn Japs ant their superior metric system.
