Thanks Mike - I bought factory replacement lines from Inline Tube. I know the threads were ruined by the prior owner installing the NPT fittings- total jackass move on his part. I also realize the line fittings aren’t installed with teflon tape but that’s not what we’re dealing with here since the threads are already ruined. Since that is the case, my attempt will be using 1/4 male NPT to female 1/2” inverted flare adapter. If the NPT threads at the cooler fitting don’t seal with teflon tape, then I’ll have to decide between a new radiator and an auxiliary trans cooler.
