Transmission Cooling Lines and Adapters.

Post by William-in-St George »

I made up a nice set of transmission lines and have come up about an inch to short at the radiator. The radiator is one of those China aluminium deals off e-bay. Looks very well made and the price was right. I need a solution for the cooling line connections and thought of using a pair of adapters that screw into the aluminium radiator and then screw the lines I have already made up into them. No rubber or halfassed hoses here all steel and brass. Has anyone done this recently enough so that you may still have a PN# or source for the adapters? Suggestions? Or am I "screwed"...:)

Hey William,

I can't help with adapters but I opted to put a "rubber piece" in my tranny lines right before the radiator just for the "flexibilty issue". Not really sure that it is necessary but I did just to make me feel better. I understand about the "solid lines" that your after. But differrent strokes, different folks. Each slick to his own. One of those "feel better" moments for me though. However you do it, At least its still a slick.

Hope all works out for ya.
