Just buy Gates 3/8” trans hose from auto parts store. If you get lucky, you can find Gates hose on ebay in bulk.

This is what I did with my ATF cooler install. My power steering and ATF cooler hard lines were rusted out and leaking, so I figured it was a good time to add an ATF cooler and just replace the rusted lines with ATF rubber lines. At the same time I bypassed the radiator cooler and just went straight from the transmission to the ATF cooler.

And I used 3/8" lines from a parts store, the rubber lines were rated for power steering or ATF.

I thought in cold climates it was best to run additional trans coolers in series after the radiator cooler to help the ATF get up to temp more quickly, and remain in the range of operating temps by exchanging some heat from the coolant/rest of the radiator?

That's the theory I guess. I don't really do much driving in the winter so I figure if the most driving I do is in the summer when I tow a heavy TT then I need the extra cooling. If I were to do it the right way I'd use a thermostat in the ATF cooling circuit so when the transmission is cold it wouldn't flow thru the cooler but I'm pretty cheap.
