how are you routing your transmission lines.

[Sport/Truck]

I'm thinking of re-doing my transmission lines and would like some ideas. Are most of you using the stock hanger on the engine oil pan?
What is the best way to do this? Make your own or buy them pre-bent?

I am using the factory ones from the 87 I got the trans out of.I plan on redoing the ends to fit whatever radiator I get.

I made my own. Mine run on the frame all the way to the front connected directly to the tranny cooler. I am still reassmebling my truck I will take some picts of exactly how I ran them and hopefully it will help you...Here is one pict of where they come out in the front.

I should have guessed that one.
How did you do the connections? The hose has a crimp to adapt it to the metal lines?

Advance auto carries a kit to us 5/16 trans cooler hose. The kit has all the hose fittings w/ barbed ends w/ the correct flare fitting. I was thinking about going this route if I cant find any factory steel lines.

I'm willing to check it out, but what what is the sister company's name? We have Checker, Autozone, pep-boys, Carquest, Napa.

I have checked Autozone and they dont have it here. We dont have those other stores close by.If any of them have a section w/ trans coolers and related parts then they will probably have them. I think the brand is either Imperial or Hayden.
