Default trans cooler line routing ?

OK, I've read several posts on routing and most all just show or state the location of fittings, top to top and bottom to bottom etc.

What I need is the routing for the lines. Ive read where it goes over the lower control arm but where does it come up by the radiator? does the line go inside or outside of the tie rod? I'm routing it from the trans side, back, thru the LCA and trying to get the fittings to line up but no dice.

Pics? Help?

Thx

I went through this a few months ago myself on my 71. See if this link helps you any.

Thx.
I saw that link but the line just doesn't seem to fit. when it lines up with the fitting on the trans the fitting end for the rad is outside the frame rail. If I try to move it to the inside, the line seems to be in a bind. not sure how "easy" it is supposed to put in place but I seem to be having more difficulty than others who posted.
