So this radiator replacement has been quite an adventure.
2000 jeep TJ, 4.0 manual.
Had the radiator leaking so ordered this replacement off of quadratec, along with all of the hoses because why not while I’m in there

First issue- As I’m taking off the old radiator, there are only 5 bolts holding it on… now I’m missing one.
Second issue- I put the old and new radiator next to each other and… there are no bottom fittings on the old on one to use on the new one to plug the auto trans slots to block them off, as I have a manual. So now I can’t block those off. Okay I thought…I might as well just switch them over and button everything up… as once I source the plugs, I can access it under the car.
Third issue- I try to put the fan shroud on and apparently the screws/bolts used on the old one are not original because the minute I tried to put the first one through, it jammed up.
SO, please help me out! I need
1- a bolt for the radiator itself
2- plugs for the auto transmission slots on the new radiator
3-bolts to fasten the shroud to the radiator.
Been doing some research and I can’t find them for the life of me. Any help is appreciated
