What type of adapter is used to connect 6an braided hose, into the trans cooler? I'm using a Northern (summit) aluminum radiator, trans cooler internal, and dont have the old original radiator. Looks like an inverted flare maybe? Is there such a thing? Looks like brake line tubing screws into it but I wanted to stay with an fittings.

I already messed up one of the threads by trying to screw in a 1/4npt to 6an adapter. :hyper:
Thanks.

My first step would be to call Summit or Northern and ask what thread size is in the radiator.

It's an inverted flare. I was confused because summit dosen't show inverted flare fittings in their catalog. You must use their web site to find them. I was searching with the wrong keyword, they don't come up if you use "an adapter" or similar. They only come up if you use "inverted flare".

I was having a "stupid" day yesterday.
