Hey, If the new radiator didn’t have shields on it, take the box it came in and cut out a couple of shields to protect the coils, just make sure you can get them out once it’s bolted in place. Helps protect the radiator as you slide it into place. Plus, made it a lot easier to put the shroud, fan, and fan clutch in place wasn’t as worried about screwing up my new radiator due to a inadvertent slip up.

Just my $0.02…………
