Alrighty then - my way ....

Sick of trying to bend tran lines - the car is ready to fire for the first time in three years and I've spent the last three weeks (free time allowing) trying to bend new trans to cooler lines around B&M shifter bracket and TTI's. I'm done - tonight I bought 12 feet of trans cooler line and two 5/8 nipples with 1/8 NOT thread that'll screw right into the trans. Sorry, but I want to drive this car and will re-visit this issue later. I know it's not the best route but it'll get it done for now. I have made no short-cuts on this car and feel I owe myself at least one to make life easier. Any tips or advise appreciated, I know double clamps and secure and protect hose anywhere it may be vulnerable. See earlier thread regardinf the grief :

You won't be he only one running around with hoses instead of the hard lines. Pressure ain't the issue here as you probably already know. Double hose clamps (don't cut into the hose) and route and secure carefully away from any abrasive points. I would not do this on a daily driver - but assuming yours is not and won't see a whole lot of road time - you should be good. I used the real deal hydraulic line on a car once, darn near tough as steel, but I know what you mean abound bening lines - hat it. Also if you'll be at the track - NHRA events won't allow the hoses, has to be steel or braided. Do it and go, change it out when your in the mood or wanna pay fer it to be done right.
