You may want to consider a 45 degree hose end. It made for cleaner hose routing at the transmission end. And the 1/8" male pipe X -6 fitting link is correct. I prefer steel fittings, but aluminum works if you're careful. Have at it!

inverted flare or 37 degree flare, ive always called it inverted flare.


Inverted flare and 37* are different. Inverted flare is what was used on brake lines, while AN is a 37* single flare.

Weatherhead makes some oddball fittings, and this place may have what you need, but probably only in steel. http://fittingsandadapters.com/

If you can identify exactly what you need, that would help a lot.

RUBBER must be an approve brand otherwise copper, steel or steel braided




From the current NHRA Rule Book.....

"All Transmission lines must metallic or high pressure type hose."

Does not say it has to be any certain type metal and the hose does not have to be NHRA approved. What that means is you cannot use plastic tubing or generic rubber fuel line. Actual transmission oil line/hose from Autozone/napa/etc. should be OK as it is a lot thicker and reinforced a lot better than generic fuel hose and I do believe it is rated for a lot more pressure.

For instance, gates automotive transmission hose meets this standard :

This SAE Standard is intended to establish uniform methods for testing and evaluation of hose and hose assemblies for use in high temperature transmission oil systems and high temperature lubricating oil systems using petroleum base oils within a temperature range of -40° to 150°C (-40° to 302°F) and a maximum working pressure of 1.5 MPa (217 psi). Hose construction, dimensions, identification, and hose fitting configurations shall be agreed upon by the supplier and user.

The stock automotive SAE specs. and a lot of plumbing fittings for flare application are 45 degrres, Army Navy (AN) specs call for 37 degree flares. The term inverted flare is intended to disinate(SP? ) the taper on the male part of the fitting as well as the female part on the hose or hard line where the two angles match, EI inverted flare The fitting hold the two parts together with the matching angles tight enough to stop all leaks, hopefully

The stock fitting in the radiator will be 1/8 pipe(maybe 1/4 inch pipe, verify that before replacing them ) to 5/16 male flare nipple with standard SAE 45 degree ends, they are brass fittings. If you want to run the AN line you will need the pipe to AN double male nipples and the feamle ends for the hose you use. Teflon hose ends are different part numbers than the neopreme hose ends are, there not interchangable The neopreme hose is a lot thicker and weighs more per foot than the same size teflon hose and fittings

This and this I can't tell from that pic, what size those tubes are. That's the only mystery.
