Here is what I did to get the Koyo radiator to fit in the stock location, without flipping the brackets. Fairly simple. Filed the hole approx 2 1/2 times its size in length to allow adjusting. Now all you do is slide the bracket UP, and the rad sits DOWN. The opening above the mounting screw is the original hole. I've had NO problems with fitment.

Reliability. Stock plastic end tanks tend to crack with age.

amen, you'd be crying if you dropped all your coolant on the asphault, especially if you didn't notice as soon as it happened.
