I have Gene Dotson's aluminum radiator installed.

I'm in process on upgrading the transmission cooler lines from 5/16 to 3/8. Manny helped with the transmission side, but I'm a little perplexed by the radiator side.

There does not seem to be the reverse flare. Is that correct?

3/8 NPT (Pipe Thread) does not fit. Am I missing something from the install kit (my helper re-used the fittings from the brass radiator).

Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

I am puzzled as to why you don't contact Gene Dotson to ask him.

That would be better than the cellphone pictures I was going to take.

Thanks!
