So I've recently installed y a/t cooling kit and I'm abit nervous of it as the connecting hoses appears not to be properly suit for the job and it got me thinking of switching out to braided lines. Can anyone point me in the right direction please???? Where can I get braided lines bought or made?

Ditto on the Trinidad Hose suggestion. Really fast and really neat. They did an oil line for me and it's VERY well made.
Why go braided for a transmission cooler tho? Might be overkill IMO. Factory transmission hoses are nylon braided rubber lines and they last really long.

the rubber hose provided in the kit wasn't sufficient so I had to buy a another.... however I'm observing fluid oozes ever so slowly out said hose, and I keep having a bad suspicion of it bursting and there goes all my a/t fluid while driving. So I'm thinking of swapping the hose out for one much stronger. I will call Trinidad hose, I think there is one in Port of Spain.

I installed a cotton braided hose and put two clamps on it. Amywho I've been watching where I could install another cooler.... this time for the turbo...... but space is now almost to capacity in the bumper area so I was wondering to put the cooler where the TMIC used to be, but then the issue with gravity would come into play?...... Your thoughts?

you tapping wood?
there's also hydraulic supplies on couva main road that sells lots of hoses and they even make some as well. You can check them out as well if they are more convenient to you.
