Nissens ID 700

Hi Guys,
I'm just wonderin' if someone can identify the better 3-row nissens for me.
I just received one from a supplier and paid the price for the better one, and it looks remarkably like a cheaper all metal 3-row I found on Ebay a while back.
Does the better nissens have a part # on the rad itself? This one does not.
This one also has the metal straps built in and run parallel up and down(2).
It also has the screw in type thermostat housing, but no thermostat.
Can someone describe what the better nissen looks like? It came in a nissens box, but it looks kinda cheap.
Thanks
RR

Nissens ID 700

i've recently installled a Nissens tropical radiator 2 rows type.it has id marks on the box and the model that it fits.Volvo 700 if meemory serves.I bought it for 139.99 then but now it's on sale for 119.99 on ebay.

It also has two metal straps that runs vertically and a V----?(supposed to be sister factory of Calorstat,France)screw-in fan switch supplied.some black paint fell off on instaling the clips for the fan shroud.Quality seems to be worse than a previous Nissens plastic and aluminium type tha t I installed for a MBenz 3yrs ago.But fit is also perfect.

Nissens ID -- YES, has ID on it :-) 700

RR, my experience with Nissens radiators is limited to 2, but does include some quick correspondence with the factory, and, since no one else has answered you yet...

1. Stickers: Nissens places nice, clean, stickers on their radiators. Printed. Not some plain dot-matric jobbie.

2. Model number (etc.) on stickers. These Danes are very careful! (reasonably enough) They will identify the radiator model (though not the applications to which it is suited) by its Nissens no.

No stickers no Nissens? Else seller may say they fell off? Doh! Don't think so.
