Help ! New Nissen radiator has no hole for sensor...

Post by Schumi 1 »

Hello all,
I ordered a new Nissen radiator from FCP for my 940 "Regina". It arrived today (speedy delivery as always).
I mentioned to the sales rep that it must have the hole in the top right (passenger side) side and the grommet for my fan sensor.
It did come with a little baggie with a plastic fitting and what appears to be a new rubber grommet. But on the tank side where this sensor goes is just a very small hex shaped plastic nub molded into the spot where the sensor goes. How am I supposed to insert the sensor ? I have the "push in/press fit" style that goes into the grommet. Break off the nub and drill out the plastic ? Seems like one would need a pretty big bit to make it the size of the grommet....
Suggestions ?
Thanks,

My Bad everyone ! I opened the box from the opposite side... The hole is now on the "face" of the inside right tank at the top. My old one was on the side so I naturally panicked when looking into the box and didn't see it.... Thanks for the reply anyway !
