I replaced my TH350 with a 2004R and had to create new lines. I used the old ones a guide. My neighbor had a rear nice bender. After a few tries I finally was able to get the proper routing. I created 2 lines but i had to scrap 2 because of errors. I thiink what I would do if I had to do it again without the old ones as a guide is try and find some plastic rods and bend (melt) them to the right route and then use them as a guide to create the new ones.

Get an 18" extruded aluminum cooler off ebay and a pair of 18" braided lines from Summit or wherever and put the cooler on the frame uneder the car in the slipstream. Nice and clean

Yea i dont have the old ones to go buy, was thinking there was an easier way out . I might do the hose thing just to get the motor broke in then work on getting sum steel lines .
