Transmission cooler PLUS radiator?
Looks like I could pull those flare fittings off my radiator and replace them both with a clamp style rigid male, 5/16" Inverted Flare Tube, 3/8" (hose size). Like in the picture below. Then instead of having to get fancy schmancy metal lines and fancy schmancy flare tools, I can just:
- Remove the hose clamped line from the "IN" side of the cooler, and re-route that line and hose clamp it to whichever side I choose to be the "IN" side of the radiator.
- Then take a short piece of (new) hose and hose clamp to the "OUT" side of the radiator, and back to the "IN" side of the cooler (the one I just rerouted above). Viola, that should do it. No? There's so much hose length to the set-up on this cooler, I could just cut a piece of length and use it as mentioned in this 2nd bullet.
P.S. - I referred to the metal lines and flare stuff and fancy schmancy just for giggles. I would rather go that route, but it would take me longer and be a larger hurdle to jump than to do as I'm detailing in the bullets above.
