transmission cooler lines with headers

[mebe007]

Ok guys what have talk done with your factory cooler lines with headers. Pictures are welcome of course. Mine were cut and patched with rubber lines. They leak like hello. So I've found factory replacements for $50 and factory style in stainless for $75. Will they work with headers or do I need something different

I went to the parts store and bought two metal break lines and bent my own to clear headers and what ever else i didnt want it nere. Cost me $25 and a little time but no where nere any heat sources.

Stock tubing is 5/16 correct? Also can anyone let me know the fittings I need?

Thanks bud I appreciate it. Do they fit fine or is there bending or what? Only reason I ask is by the time I buy a double flare kit and the lines and fittings I could have bought prebent factory replacements
