problem fitting Spectra CU730 radiator

[kikkegek]

he guys,

My radiator just kept on leaking on one of the hose connections. So I decided to buy a replacement.

A local store here supplied me with what should have been a "bolt-in-replacement"...the Spectra Prenium CU730

I now encountered a couple of problems:

1. the radiator core is about 2cm ('0.8") higher and thicker

2. also the part that rests in rubbers at the bottom and top holding the radiator in place is 8cm wide in stead of 6 cm in my case. 3.15" in stead of 2,36".

Otherwise the radiator is fine. All connections are in the right place and fit fine.

But this means I had to cut my rubbers on top and bottom that support the radiator and modify my top brackets that hold the radiator in place.

We double checked and we are 100% sure this is the correct radiator for my K20 Suburban.

I cant find any mounting materials or new rubbers that do fit this radiators.

Can you guys help me? do you know where I can get mounting materials for this rad?
