Default kinda shot myself in the foot

Last week i installed my transmission cooler, everything went great. well i randomly decided to order a cam and install it. well i now have to remove the radiator in order to install the cam. i installed my cooler on the rad with the ties that go though the condensor and rad. im guessing i now have to destroy those ties and am wondering if there is a way to buy some new ties so that i can pop the cooler back on again?

I recently did this too, here's what I did...

Like you said, the ties will go through the cooler, condenser, then the radiator. Right? Cut the back of the tie and pull it apart, the part where the retainer clip holds the tie string. Now, go ahead and reinstall it, just run the tie through the cooler and the condenser. There will be enough of the tie left from where it went through the radiator. With the cooler installed on the condenser you should still have enough room to move it around during the cam swap.

I did the same thing, trust me, it'll work. Worst case, if for some reason you can't get it to work, fab something up with zipties until you can find more ties.
