[ihc] tranny coolant lines and flare tools

["Dan Nees" <cookiedan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reapers,

   A couple of years ago I added a spin on oil filter for my auto tranny
that I remote located under the master cylinder. I could not find any
fittings at the time to allow me to hard pipe steel lines directly to the
filter. Only because I was trying to put it in right away and didn't feel
like waiting. 

   Since I didn't run hard lines I have short sections of rubber from some
nipples to the hard lines. These rubber lines eventually get hard and start
to leak with exposure to the exaust heat and such. 

   Therefore, my question is, I now want to hard pipe the lines all the way
in, but; would anyone have a problem with me using flare compression
couplings on the lines to join them together rather than make all new lines?
They would of course be double flare fittings. I have small leakes from all
these rubber lines, even with double clamps on the rubber and want to stop
all these damn leaks.
