Haha, I got the obvious part, what I was more interested in was the method to connect the two hoses together.

 

Oh sorry, my bad.

 

Simple misunderstand any suggest as to how to connect the ends? Best I could come up with was the hydraulic hose with clamps...but again, kinda ghetto.

 

sounds ghetto to me, i wouldn't do it. why, just for the look of braided stainless? those lines are made for water. im not sure of the properties of that nylon tubing but i don't think they will hold up to the hot hydraulic fluid, and if a hose pops off that's no pressure back to the trans and failure is quick to follow.

 

How were you talking about clamping the couplers on the hydraulic hose then?

 

just to make sure you just connect the two lines on the left of the radiator. I just had a major **** up I'll post about in a sec

 

the tubing couplers i mentioned are for clamping the [I]tubing[I] not the hose together, ill post in your new thread.
