Transmission Cooling lines

Has anyone changed their trans lines to Flex lines ? What lines did you use? Fittings ?
Any help would be appreciated.

You could just change the metal lines to hose, and attach the hose to some brass fittings that will thread into the tranny and radiator. Make sure you get hose designed for transmission coolers. This would be much easier than messing with the metal lines, as they are a major pain in the you-know-what.

Anyone else ? I really want to route my lines in a different manner to keep them away from heat sources......... Just like to know the AN type fittings that would be needed.

What about bending & flaring new lines? Then you could re-use the fittings...?

i used the metal lines from the radiator all the way until i got to the header, then i switched to hose so i could reroute it away from the heat source.
