Pre-Bent 700R4 Trans Cooler Lines
Who makes the most accurate pre bent 700R4 lines for the thirdgen? It seems that every website I search, they all differ slightly, even though they are supposed to be for a V8/700R4 thirdgen.
I am looking for factory replacement pieces. Not braided, chrome, an fitting, etc. This is an unmodified car.
Thanks

Used. I've yet to see an aftermarket tube that was really bent correctly. I replaced the power steering cooler on one of my cars a couple years ago. It took at least an hour tweaking the bends to make it fit right. A good used set would drop right in.

Considering the overall poor reproduction products on the markets for our cars, Im not surprised by this. Thanks.

In this case, I don't think it's really because of "our" cars. The repro brake lines I put on my Mustang left a lot to be desired. Any tube very long has to have soft U bends for shipping, so it'll fit a reasonably sized box. Other bends tend to be too sharp a radius, or too soft a radius... They all take tweaking to fit reasonably well.
