Mishimoto radiator

Hi,

I've bought a Mishimoto alu radiator for my TJ, started installing it and realised (way too late, actually) that all mounting rivet nuts are aluminium. And once the thread is broken - this whole rivet-with-the-thread doesn't hold in the alu plate anymore.

So it took me a while to unscrew them somehow, to bore and replace those rivet nuts with something more reliable. And just after that I've realised that the threads for the gearbox cooler are also completely aluminium and they also are too weak (the oil was dripping through the O-gasket, once I tightened it the thread damaged).

Is it ok, or I just got a fake?

Got it yesterday from ali, a Chinese version - but thanks to community infos flashed the CrossPoint easily. It's a fantastic device, really - it has all the features I woul dlike to have in it and has no unnecessary features at all. Briliant.

Not 100% fitting the back of a naked S23U because of the cameras, but works good if S23U has a cover. Fits PERFECTLY to the back of S8A.

I'm positively impressed.
