new aftermarket radiator, got the right one!

[asbfooh at yahoo.com (Aaron in San Jose)]

I took back the radiator that the company originally
said was the right one after I called them back , they
got the right one that was  a perfect fit , so now I'm
very happy , it has a lifetime warranty too , has
anyone ever installed some sort of a top filling
connector  so you can fill the radiator versus
removing the hose ? -Aaron
