Just a point, to make a copper core radiator as effective as an AL you need a lot more core. And they weight a lot more than the Al. I haven't seen that copper cores in the FC or FD in Tucson`work very well.

BTW Thread is 12mm x 1.25

It is a ground switch, water touching it completes the ground circuit.
This is why rubber mounts are not recommended, unless you use a jump wire from one of the rad mount bolts to chassis.
It's an afco radiator and I custom made mounting locations for the temp and level sensor. I also tried a 12mmx1.25 and it didn't work. Oh well, in the mean time I'm just grounding it out and plugging the hole.
