Can't please everyone... wish we could. If we stick our fittings in with the rads, retail price in US will go up by $9USD per radiator. No easy solution.
$9USD? for $2-3USD worth of connectors? What kind of overhead do you guys have that adds that extra cost? Maybe that's why profits are so slim?

Sure glad I stayed out of the business.
