HELP with Radiator Spout Adapter on Aftermarket Rad. -- In tears...

[TurboMeTroy]

I bought this radiator for my girl's '92 Camry off of eBay. I figure it should be fine for what she does. It's brand new. Except the transmission coolant line spouts (on the bottom) are non-existent.

Instead, there are two nipple-style, threaded studs...that are too big (#1) for the hose to go over and (#2) it is not long enough either.

My question is - has anyone ever encountered this and if so, how did you remedy this? If not, it's a 14mm , fine thread - and NO place...when I say NO, I mean NOOOOO place carries any sort of barb, fitting, hydraulic fitting, adapter...etc to fit on the end. Unbelievably annoying. No lie, I've been to 14 different places, including radiator shops w/ no luck. They told me when they arrive like that (style) they always come w/ the the proper adapter to put a hose on it...so I know they are out there.

Please help!!!!!!

Thank you in advance.

email the ebay vendor that you got the rad off of...

or take the spouts off of her old rad...


but yes, the rad is supposed to come with them

What was the Ebay ad number so we can take a look at it?

If the radiator has a brand name, look up the manufacturer on Google, call them or a dealer that resells the item.

The old spouts are molded to the end tanks on the old radiator. I did email the guy tho, and I'm awaiting a response.

well...for real as well, how big of a rush is it?

I have a couple spare ones sitting at home....but home is in Toronto. I'll be home on the 12th for a visit and I can ship them out for 5 bucks or something to cover the shipping costs

PM me if you're interested.

You guys are prompt and nice here.

So you know exactly what I'm looking for ?
It's fairly urgent, as we are without a car...however 6 more days will be fine if I haven't found anything in the meantime. I will definitely let you know. I'll PM you my contact info. Thanks bro, I appreciate it!!!

let me know if you can't find them

I know that I have some at home somewhere from one of my aftermarket rads as well because I blew that one due to something hitting the fins and I had to pick up a new one so I just reused my old ones
