Transmission cooler PLUS radiator?

Honestly, I'd spring for some AN fittings and hoses. Doesn't have to be stainless steel braided hose... they do sell less expensive hose that's a lot more durable and chemical resistant than the old "rubber hose". Just imagine the mess if the cheap stuff lets go, especially if it happens in the middle of nowhere. But the aux. cooler has barb/nipples on it doesn't it? That kind of messes up "my" plan.
