Do early 986 radiators fit all 986 boxsters?

[bigbuber]

I read an old thread and could use some clarification:

"Then Porsche came out with side specific radiators. Porsche does not say when this change was made, but the Bulletin Porsche issued is dated July 21.2000. Your 2002 will have the side specific type.
The right or passenger side is 996 106 132 51. Left is 996 106 131 51. The radiator that fit either side was 996 106 131 50."


Does this mean the radiator (996 106 131 50) that fits either side will work on the newer boxsters? Specifically my 2001? Porsche sells it for massively cheaper than anyone sells the side specific radiators even used, but according to their listing, it only works for pre 2001 boxsters. I'd post a link to the porsche listing, but everytime I do, my thread never gets approved...

Sorry I already posted a question similar to this, but I wasn't specific enough.

Just spell out the link... we'll figure it out.

The mods aren't that sharp.
