What Radiators Fit 92 400E

[thos43]

Hi All,

I really want to know what year radiators, that don't have plastic inlets, will fit my 92 400E, and what price would be considered fair? To save you from reading what you may not want to, the rest of this message is about why I need a new radiator, and how well the quick fix of my old one worked.

About a year ago, the plastic inlet fitting on my 92 400E broke off. For a quick fix, I bought some abs pipe at a local hardware that was just a bit smaller than the radiator opening. After roughing up the pipe and the inlet, I gooped both the inlet and the pipe with pc 7 epoxy putty, placed one end of the pipe in the inlet and slipped the other end into the the old broken off piece on which the hose clamps. I then gooped the outside of all with about a sixteenth of an inch of putty. After sanding it smooth the next day, I replaced the hose, and to my amazement, that quick fix lasted a bit over a year.

Despite the fixes surprising longevity, I think I prefer buying a radiator with a non-plastic inlet rather than repeating the fix and waiting for it to break, so any help will be greatly appreciated. If location is a price factor, I'm located in the Seattle/Tacoma area of Washington State.

Thank you all for all your good advice.
