Is there any or much differences between leaf spring 96 & coil spring 96 Radiators? Need help fast Please.

Not AFAIK. I think the very last leaf radiators were plastic tanked/alloy finned like the coil radiators.

My radiator is leaking at the point where the plastic top tank meets the core. I have found a radiator on ebay but its for a 96 leaf spring. Any idea if it will fit easily? We are heading to Cape York on Friday so need to sort this out super fast. Thankyou very much.

The rads are same core size and basically same tank setup but coily mount bolt holes are spaced a little differently.
The holes aren't far out and they will interchange without much drama.

Awesome thanks guys.

you will need to change the fan shroud to a sj70 shroud as well they attach differently.

Where are you, I have 3 radiators, north brisbane.

[billygoat]

All good. Radiator fitted just fine, no dramas at all. I have GTI engine & run a thermo fan. So no need for shroud. Cape York trip starts tomorrow. New Kumo mud tyres fitted today. Woohoo will post pics on here upon our return.

Let's hope you're right - in my experience, thermo fans work better with shrouds.
