I am replacing my radiator on my 1999 C70. The fittings on the new radiator do not look exactly like the old ones. The new fittings appear to have a wider mouth and my concern is that it will not accommodate the quick disconnects. I have posted the pics of the new fittings as well as the old ones.
Does anyone have experience with these?

Pull off the fitting and check that the inner ID is the same on the brass fittings.
The Oring makes the seal, the plastic connect just keeps them from walking off. You could easily hose clamp, zip tie, or. Wire these in place neatly if the quick connects don't fit

You could, but I wouldn't. If the fittings don't work I would return the radiator and get one that fits. You will spend a few more bucks but you also won't need to be concerned about dumping all the transmission fluid out on the highway.
