Product-Specific Fitment

Use the product photographs to compare long locating pin with bracket-specific shoulder and retention end. Inspect the mating stud, bracket or body opening because a similar-looking fastener may have a different pitch, shoulder or locating depth.

Workshop Installation Method

Clean the mating thread and start GR2B-F2G3-F2G3-8A194-AB without power tools. If resistance is felt before seating, stop and check pitch alignment; cross-threading can damage the retained component.

Functional Check After Assembly

Complete a final clearance check around the installed part. The assembly should remain centred, avoid body contact and retain enough access for normal maintenance.

Warehouse Identification

Store SKU FD02042-012 under GR2B-F2G3-F2G3-8A194-AB with the FORD Taurus application and upper radiator bracket recorded on the bin label. Keep small threaded pieces bagged separately; protect formed brackets from stacking loads that could change their geometry.

Taurus Cooling Module Location

The long GR2B locating pin guides the upper bracket rather than acting as a universal body bolt. Install the surrounding seat and isolator in their original order, then confirm the radiator can absorb normal vibration without the pin contacting the core or condenser.
