Default Transmission coooler help

So I got a Dewitt radiator for my 06 vette without a built in transmission cooler(6l80). So I need to find the fittings I can bolt up to the factory lines to run rubber hoses to my aftermarket trans cooler. Anyone know where I can get them.. Part #? Thanks for any help

Just slip the rubber hoses onto the stock lines and use double hose clamps. The trans may run extra cool, so be sure the trans temps are over 140 anytime you go WOT.

The stock lines have a bulge at the end where it fits into the stock radiator.

Because you seem to think you can screw something to the end of the lines, I'm guessing you haven't taken them off your stock radiator yet and don't know what they look like. Once you take off the first one, you'll understand.

Mine's had rubber hoses for 3 years without a hint of a leak.
