After searching and not finding much on this topic I thought I would share my part #'s to help others who want to do this. Braided lines aren't the cheapest or easiest way to hook up your trans cooler, using rubber lines is the cheaper easier way to go so this isn't for everyone. I was never happy with the look of the rubber lines I had on it before plus they were getting old and warn so I finally converted over to braided lines. I cut off the stock steel lines just after the front of the engine and used a compression fitting to convert the 5/16 steel line to 6AN braided. The trans cooler is mounted(fittings facing upward) in front of radiator bolted to the bottom part of the frame just behind the nose piece. My old cooler was mounted(fittings facing toward passenger side) closer to the radiator but the new one wouldn't fit in the same place. 90* hose ends were used on the cooler to allow for clearance of the plastic trim piece that covers everything(pics show it being off). The B&M cooler I used required a 1/2" NPT to 6AN fitting to hook up the hose ends to it. All Fittings are Earls.

Another pic of the cooler, not sure this is the best location but I think it allows for the easiest access to everything.

Looks good, nice and clean. I went with rubber on my tranny cooler but will go braided lines upon my return in 6 months. Thanks for the part #'s.
