I started to install one of those fancy three core aluminum radiators today but as usual did not have enough time to complete the job. So hard to find time these days. :| Any who, I have the radiator installed with the exception of the trans cooler lines. The issue that I encountered here is that the bungs that are welded into the radiator appear to be one size too big. Is this common? Maybe some type of thread savi technique? Is there some sort of reducer flared available for this? I can’t ever remember seeing any kind of flared reducer. If there is one available at the local mega home store, what size do I need?

what size is the trans line you have? 5/16?
also does it look like pipe thread or is it an inverted flare?

i would suggest a standard 3/8ths line fitting if the fitting you have is just too small. that would be a 5/8 18 line fitting, either an adapter from 1/2 20 to 5/8 18 or if you have a double flaring tool you can buy a tube nut with the 5/8 18 thread but the 5/16" line size
edit: brain fart, my line sizes were 1 off
