Tranny Cooler Installation Parts

After careful research and contemplation, I've finally decided to install my tranny cooler in front of the AC condenser, and in parallel with the stock cooler. I won't go into my reasons for this, let's just assume that's what I'm going to do and there's no need to discuss it any further.

I need some "T" or "Y" fittings that fit the hoses to both coolers - the inside diameter looks like about 5/16" - and I can't find any that are suitable. Obviously I'm looking in the wrong places.

Does anybody know where one goes to find something like that? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

My cooler spec'ed 11/32 id hoses so for a T or Y it should be the same. Ts are available at my local auto parts chain - Discount Auto Parts, so I would think any decent parts house will have them. I have also seen them at Ace Hardware, but not sure if that's a standard thing, my local store seems to carry a lot of plumbing/fluid parts (maybe a fourth of the store).

Thanks,Lee - I don't know why it never entered my mind to go to an auto parts store for these, but it didn't. AutoZone had them, so did NAPA. I'd looked at a few hardware stores and they didn't have the right size or it wasn't suitable for the heat.

I am now a happy camper. Thanks again for the help.
