Hey guys,
I'm replacing my cracked radiator and am planning on the top and bottom hoses too, but have a few questions:
1.) A question on the clips, anyone know what size they are? (so i can order the clips with the rest of the kit)
2.) Secondly, what's best, Jubilee vs Mikalor vs spring clips vs re-using current spring clips?
3.) painting metal pipes with rust proofer/exhaust paint, is that a good idea?
4.) Also just wondering when the radiator is taken out, I would have to unclip the oil filled part at the bottom, I can't quite figure out what this is for, is it engine oil? or a whole other system that will need bleeding?
Thanks so much for your love and support!

Re: Radiator change questions
The oil pipes are for the auto box fluid.
You will need to disconnect, catch the fluid, then re-fill through the gearbox dipstick hole.
The level needs to,be checked with the engine hot and running.
Jubilee clips are not recommended.
