Posted April 8, 20195 yr comment_572886 I purchased a new radiator on amazon for my 7/71 240Z that actually looks quite nice. The problem is there are two ports at the bottom of the radiator. The ports are 14MM threads. I went to every hardware, auto, and home improvement store to find a cap that would screw on to cap the holes, but they're not made in metric. I believe the ports are for a 280Z. Any suggestions as to how to cap them?

April 8, 20195 yr comment_572887 Ignore them. They are for the coolant lines for an automatic transmission. If you are worried about fluid getting into them for corrosion purposes, fill them with RTV.

April 8, 20195 yr Author comment_572889 To be clear, the channel between the two ports does not affect the rest of the radiator, correct? I'm kicking myself for not checking that. If that's the case, I will put some RTV in the holes. Thank you for your insight.

April 8, 20195 yr comment_572893 Steve J is of course correct. The do not affect the main cooling area of the radiator. Many of the aftemarket manufacturers standardized on one model which includes the section for the auto transmission.
