Default HTF to get B&M trans cooler in front of radiator?

how can I get my B&M trans cooler mounted in front of the radiator? looking from the top it looks impossible. also how do I hook up my trans lines? do they unscrew from the radiator, then I cut the ends off and hook the rubber hose onto the lines with hose clamps????

This is how I did mine. Been like that for maybe 9 months or so with no problems. The car is lowered so I am careful pulling up to curbs and parking blocks.

From the bottom, I had my rubber lines hooked up to the cooler and mounted it at the bottom of the radiator on pass side, putting the mounting tabs through the condensor and radiator. I dremeled a hole in the top pass side of the shroud to pass the lines through.The B&M kit should give you a fitting to put in the radiator in place of the line and a fitting to thread onto the line that you can mount your hoses to.Top line on radiator is return to trans and will give max cooling.
The fans are easy to move if necessary, just push up until the tabs are out of the mounts.
