    Looking for and cannot find anyplace the small fittings from the trans coolent lines to the radiator. Sizing is a bit confusing.
    Fittings screw into the 1/4" female threads in the radiator, then lines male in the the female fitting would say 3/8 or 1/2.

    Attaching a couple pictures, first on is mounted, others are the damaged on from a couple angles.

    Thanks in advance

    Depending on the size of the cooling lines- 5/16" or 3/8" (I have never seen 3/8") you need a fitting that adapts 1/4" male pipe to 5/16" female inverted flare. Readily available at any parts store, even most hardware stores. Brass. Hopefully you will find a knowledgeable parts person.

    That might be harder than finding the fittings.
