Radiator change questions

[LawrenceStanley]

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!

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.
