Billy, those are for a Z06.
Now, w/o further ado. When I do a project, I try to help. PICS = 1000 words!

ProLite hose. It's not cheap!!!
But it's easy to work w/., since there's no steel braid & has a min. bend radius of 2 1/2", rated @ 350PSI, safety factor of 4:1. You'll never hit 350, say 1400 is outta the question on a trans, even in reverse. Here's most of my AN goodies, but not all. It costs a lot to run full AN end-end. Yes, some Aeroquip mixed in, but mostly Earl's.

The straight AN fittings weren't even used, nor were the steel adapters to lower right. Instead of steel, I opted for blue anodized Earl's as seen in later pic. Consider it a $100 credit, since the Summit guy claimed he knew everything I needed to do AN for trans & cooler. He didn't!


You need 2 of these at trans. They're 1/4 pipe - (-6AN) adapters. Thanks Snake Oiler for info!


3 of these. I used 2 after the 1/4-6 adapter @ trans & 1 on lower connection @ Rad. I used a 90* on the upper Rad connection. The Earl's 90* p/n is AT809106ERL.


4 of these 5/8" Inverted Flare Adapters. Thanks again, Snake Oiler!!!: 2 @ Rad, 2 @ Cooler.


Need I say more. Level 7!!!

My Poor Man's Tranny Jack. Helped to prevent slips crushin my bro or me, but I shoulda made it a hair bigger. I only measured 2 sides. The front protrudes, so needs to be compensated for that.


A billet work of art!


Lower brkt & non swivel 90*s. I do not recommend non swivel crimp-ons. It's the non-swivel part, cause it has to have hose rotated at opposite end. Spend the extra $2-3 per fitting x2.


Also, not seen is the upper brkt I made. I'm not happy w/. how the finish turned out, but I rattle-canned it instead of breakin out the real eqpt. - A spray gun woulda done a much, nicer job. Materials were recommended at a paint store I deal w/. It's on & functional, but may be modded...

Uhhh, I thought it was you wearing the gloves...5'10", 195#...your bro can wear pink gloves if it makes him happy (he's not coming with you to Jersey is he...if so, I'm going to Michigan!)

I knew who u thought it was. I use those disposable gloves but I don't wear pink.

I was just playin, he's around that height (5'10"), & not that heavy.

I'm the youngest, but I'm not 5'10", & I'm more solid.
