This spring when I tried to install it, the radiator would not fit properly, due to the fact the manufacturer had made a mistake by installing the bottom mounting plate design for the 30/31 radiator and not for the 28/29. As a result, the radiator sat too high, causing a poor fit of the hood at the rear corners.
Shipping it back for correction was out of the question, due to shipping cost, and issue over warranty time.

Next time around I will go with Bergs, and install it immediately upon receipt.
Regardless of the time frame since purchase the manufacturer should have paid shipping both ways and repaired it... It was a blatant defect..

Many parts we purchase for these cars do not get put into service right away..
