Mishimoto - misMMRS-MUS-97 - 1997-2004 Ford Mustang Aluminum Radiator Stay Set

Mishimoto has developed Ford Mustang aluminum radiator stays to replace the OEM upper radiator brackets.These are a must have for any Mustang owner looking to install an aftermarket radiator.The stock OEM Ford brackets have a rigid design that does not allow them to bend and move in harmony with the Mustang's uni-body when it is being torqued under hard driving conditions.These forces combined with the Mustang's rigid upper radiator brackets cause performance aluminum radiators to crack and leak.The Mishimoto Ford Mustang radiator stays are made out of thin gauge aluminum and use a softer rubber bushing, allowing the bracket to bend and move with the radiator, thus preventing damage.Designed to fit both OEM and aftermarket radiators.Made in USA High-performance component engineered for durability, efficiency, and reliable operation under demanding conditions. Designed to support optimal system function across a wide range of automotive applications. 1997-2004 Ford Mustang Base 3.8 Liter 4R70W, 1997-2000 Ford Mustang Base 3.8 Liter T-45, 2001-2004 Ford Mustang Base 3.8 Liter T45OD, 1997-2003 Ford Mustang Base 3.8 Liter T5, 2001-2004 Ford Mustang Base 3.8 Liter T5OD, 2001-2004 Ford Mustang Base 3.8 Liter TR3650, 2004 Ford Mustang Base 3.9 Liter 4R70W, 2004 Ford Mustang Base 3.9 Liter T45OD, 2004 Ford Mustang Base 3.9 Liter T5OD, 2004 Ford Mustang Base 3.9 Liter TR3650, 1997-2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 Liter 4R70W, 1997-2000 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 Liter T-45, 2001-2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 Liter T45OD, 1997-2003 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 Liter T5, 2001-2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 Liter T5OD, 2001-2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 Liter TR3650, 2001 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt 4.6 Liter 4R70W, 2001 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt 4.6 Liter T45OD, 2001 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt 4.6 Liter T5, 2001 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt 4.6 Liter T5OD, 2001 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt 4.6 Liter TR3650, 2003-2004 Ford Mustang Mach I 4.6 Liter 4R70W, 2003-2004 Ford Mustang Mach I 4.6 Liter T45OD, 2003 Ford Mustang Mach I 4.6 Liter T5, 2003-2004 Ford Mustang Mach I 4.6 Liter T5OD, 2003-2004 Ford Mustang Mach I 4.6 Liter TR3650, 1997-1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6 Liter T-45, 2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6 Liter T45OD, 1997-1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6 Liter T5, 2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6 Liter T5, 2003-2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6 Liter T56, 2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6 Liter T5OD, 2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6 Liter TR3650, 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 10th Anniversary 4.6 Liter T56, 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R 5.4 Liter T56

• Prevents cracking of aluminum radiators
• Fits both Mishimoto and stock radiators
• Includes a set of two radiator stays

The Mishimoto misMMRS-MUS-97 aluminum radiator stay set replaces the original equipment upper radiator brackets on select 1997-2004 Ford Mustang models. Designed for use with both OEM and aftermarket radiators, these stays help accommodate movement between the radiator and the Mustang unibody during hard driving conditions.

Unlike the rigid OEM brackets, the stays use thin-gauge aluminum and softer rubber bushings that allow the bracket to bend and move with the radiator. This design helps reduce stress that can contribute to cracking and leaking in performance aluminum radiators. The set is made in the USA and includes two radiator stays.
