Boxster radiator replacement

[DIYTom]

Does anyone know the part number for the clip that holds the radiator to the radiator support on a 1999 Boxster? I was able to get the clips that hold the fan shroud to the radiator, but they are a little smaller than the ones that hold the radiator to the support.

The factory parts diagram for the 986 only shows one of the type of clips that your photo shows, part number 99916607702, which has now been superseded with a new part number 99916607701. The diagram calls it a "Safety Clip B 22" and shows that there are six clips required.
Are you sure someone wasn't in there before and installed a new clip of a different size?

Regards, Maurice.

Looks pretty much like the same thing:

I got those, but they only fit the fan assembly where it attaches to the radiator. I compared the original radiator to the replacement radiator and the mounts for the fan and the radiator supports are different sizes. I found another part number. 999166839, which I ordered today. Porsche said I will have them tomorrow. I will post the results after I try them tomorrow night.
