This is try to go into the existing rubber hose returns, without claps. Screw onto the hose like braided line connectors.
I think I have figured out what to do with it. Going all hydraulic crimp swivel to 3/8" NPT on all of it except for the main return to the pump that is 1/2".
This kind?
No, he’s too good for that….
What do they call that style of fitting?
That uses and AN line and is aluminum
For the transmission cooler though.
I’m not sure. It’s like a high pressure fitting except it’s aluminum. I think earls calls it swivel seal maybe? You could also use a push lock fitting
In the heavy truck industry we call these reusable aeroquip fittings. A big truck supply place can hook you up but they won’t be the fancy anodized ones. Gates makes a similar version.
Check Aircraft Spruce & Speciality too, they should have them.

I am a grinder, not a welder.
Overlap of similar materials sucked.
Dissimilar materials butt welded.
I don't get it.

I got the only high pressure hose remade today. Had to go from M16x1.5 BSPP thread to the stock hydro-boost inlet. New pump is 2002 Corvette. Used the old hose that has no issues. Lengthened it and added fittings to work.
Exhaust has been rerouted and fully welded. Won't go back in until the fuel tank is done.
First world problems.
It sucks when I am looking for a bolt, and find the bag labeled "Torque Converter."
So I am on my back. Putting bolts in with Locktite. Turning the crank with a cheater bar, while on my back. Then all 6 bolts are in but need torqued. Then, when a bolt comes around and it is already torqued, I realize that I have gone around twice now, and I am done. It was a good feeling.
It is the little wins.

Went right back under. Decided to put the exhaust in to get it out of the way. Evidently, I had an existing hanger way out of wack on the passenger side. Missed the center hanger by an inch.
It has been removed, rehacked and rewelded.
so your a hack job? @ktmoutfront 
Seems to be today. At least I was able to shorten the section around a weld. So there is still only the one weld.
Every time I go to Summit, it is another $600. Fittings have ridiculous prices. Add up faster than I can click "add to cart".
