No worries.....got the OEM flare nut to thread back in after carefully "cleaning" threads into another fitting and filing carefully between starter threads on the OEM flare nut......lesson learned = there can be no tension on the tubing when you thread the flare nut back in......I had probably bent the tubing when I was pulling the OEM radiator out by myself.
I asked a couple vendors today about the length of prothane radiator support 1711-BL (small block, guessing 3" long groove on underside?) vs 1712-BL (measures 3.5" long groove on underside, perfect fit for OEM radiator but not the replacement), but never got any response.......think the 1711-BL is likely the direct fit for the Spectra CU850 radiator.

100% agree with you Rick. The factory line routing is pretty exposed underneath the trucks. For anyone planning on running anywhere where the bottom could scrape I would take the time to reroute.
