Trans Cooling Lines for a 71 LeSabre?

[Smartin]

Does nobody make preformed trans lines for these cars?

I already tried inline tube....I have some universal tube coming that I have to bend myself for a quick fix. I would really like to get some stock pieces on here, though.

I twisted the fittings right off the tubes this evening...both of them.

Adam, I went to a place outside Columbus when I did my 69's - since they didn't have a pattern and mine where original, they made them up for me while I waited, they didn't charge me much as they used my originals as a pattern and then had the specs if they needed to make future ones. I will try to get the name for you. The lines they made came out perfect.

I suppose the Northeast will do this type of thing to steel lines and fittings..

I also hope I can bend the ones I ordered to spec and make it look good. The originals I took off are kinda gnarly...and it would be a PITA to ship them. I wonder if anyone local can do this?

Adam, try Classic Tube they are in Lancaster, NY, near where you were last year at the BCA Nats. My brother has had very good luck with them!

Thanks Roberta! I'll check into it if these lines I bend suck.

Adam, just take your time, maybe start with some of the old stuff to do the tricky bends, I'm sure you'll do fine!
