Mazdatrix carries SS lines, dunno on price.

You can make them yourself, but it'll cost you a good deal, SS fittings arent' cheap.. A hydraulics shop could probably make up a set of lines for you.

But in the end, it's probably easiest just to buy premade lines.

Last I checked the same lines that Mazdatrix sells are only $130 at Corksport.

My Tranny cooler lines would leak about a qt to the hour. Thats pretty bad, and thats not pressureized (its because in my setup, its the lowest fluid point.) I drained the tranny, and took off the lines and filled the bathtup and blew compressed air through them to find the hole. I cleaned it all off /w sandpaper, Jb-welded the hole, primered the hole thing and reinstalled. Presto not a drip anywhere.
