Aluminum Radiator has no AST Nipple
Hi guys, I was able to locally source an aluminum radiator for my '99 FD... but upon closer inspection it turns out that it doesn't have a provision for the AST line. I intend to replace the AST with an aftermarket tank... but then without a route to the radiator i'm a bit at a loss as to how to hook everything up.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

You have three options as far as I can tell....
1. Get another radiator with the proper nipple in the lower tank for the AST line.
2. Have a nipple welded in to the radiator you have now.
3. Properly delete the AST completely with a S5 filler neck cap and removing the filler neck nipple, and tapping the hole for a NPT plug.
