So, new bolts, thread chaser through the hole, more blue LokTite<tm> the thing is bolted up snug everywhere. Two tries and the correct O-ring on the dipstick tube, Two six foot sections of steel brake line and one eight inch section, a union and two adapters for the radiator cooler. Six foot pipe bent and fitted like a charm. Correct offset and the other one fitted to the trans. Eight inch section properly bent around the lower radiator hose, just right to mate up with the six footer.... and I crimped the last bend. Sigh. I'll pick up another six foot section in the morning and match the bends in this one since it fits well. And make the last 90 gently so it doesn't crimp. Gotta go back to Advance to pick up the last adapter anyway. Experience is directly proportional to busted equipment. But, the coach will have the trans cooler plumbed in harline properly instead of the mess that was under there. I was going to count clamps and hose unions but I gave up at ten. It may explode, but it ain't gonna leak.
