Did you try Fastenal? They have pretty much every fitting known to man. I've been buying nuts,bolts and fittings from them for the past 2 years for my builds.

Damn that sucks, yea you can try Fastenal....or I was told to call local hydraulic hose businesses if I couldn't find any.

I am surprised that ACE didn't have any, the one here isn't all that big, but had one side of an entire aisle of just different sizes of brass connectors

This is what I used, picked one with a male thread and one with a female thread and the barbs the size I needed (3/8" and 5/16") from ACE hardware.

I mounted mine like this on the passenger side in front of the radiator and air condenser. Do you think that it makes a difference?

The only issue I could see with your setup is if the trans cooler rubs directly against the A/C condenser, unless you have some kind of rubber spacer separating the two.

Ah, I forget thats what ppl think when I say that, Im not a patient, I'm in med school.
I heard it was suppose to be nice here this wkend too...well no rain, but probably humid from the rain, but I will be on call, so I won't even get to be outside.
The cooler only took a couple hrs to install, hardest part was just separating the a/c condenser from the radiator enough to thread the zip-tie holders through.

Default B&M Cooler # 70298 install?

Has anyone installed the 70298 Dope Style? That is where I am going to try and put mine this weekend. How did you mount it?

Thanks.
Bill

Yeah the top has a bracket and spacer that seperates it from the a/c condenser. I can't get a pic of it but its there. Thanks man.
