I just replaced the original radiator on my newly acquired 744GL. It had started leaking at the left rear vertical seam - not bad longevity for 16 years and 190K miles. The new Nissens from FCPGroton fits, but is loose in the mounting brackets. It seems like the new radiator is about 3/8 inch too short. The top rubber lined clamps don't hold it securely. I can wiggle it back and forth, although not enough that it would fall out. I'm a little worried that because it can move, it may vibrate enough to shorten its life. Has anyone encountered this problem, and have a solution? Should I get new rubber mounts?
