Does anyone know of ready made or any outfit that can custom made steel braided transmission cooler lines for the 560SEC?

My AC compressor clutch exploded (pics later!) and the front cover was still running around on the shaft and knicked the line causing a loss of fluid.

I pulled over RIGHT AWAY and saved the transmission from any damage however this has me worried as these lines seem to be pretty poorly positioned. This was a BRAND NEW OEM line from the dealership and it did not take much to get it bleeding all over the place.

I realize it's overkill, but just for peace of mind I would really prefer a steel braided or better line to replace it, does such a thing exist or can it be made to exist? :thumbsup:

Don't know if any of these will work on a 560...

They also have them at Amazon and a lot of performance parts places. Just do a google with " steel braided transmission cooler lines"

Thanks. I was trying to find a set that would be more or less bolt on ready.

I've inquired to have a set made locally but they were unable to do so as they could not match or crimp the MB style fittings.

Not too hard to make at home. I make all my braided lines and buy the Earls or Aeroquip fittings and the hoses from Summit Racing. Lots of instructional on-line videos on how to make these hoses.
