Looking for replacement transmission coolant lines for 1988 SW48 with ford C6

Had my C6 transmission go out, did a rebuild and after putting it back in the coolant lines blew out on it.

Having a hard time finding a replacement or anyone that even makes custom lines. For any of you that have had to replace them or had custom lines made, just looking for some suggestions. I've called about 30 places so far with no leads. The biggest issue is it seems to have some custom fittings on it.

I just made my lines on my 727 trans to cooler in my SW48 DA , stayed the same as original , which was 1/2 in hydraulic line at the cooler, that stepped down to 1/8 " pipe thread on the trans side . I haven't looked at a C6 trans for a while , but I'm sure the cooler ports are 1/8 or 1/4 pipe thread. Bring a sample in to a Hydraulic shop , they should have no problem making them up.
 
Yeah, looks like 1/8" npt for the C6 end?

Did you replace with braided steel or did you have the shop bend exact replacements? I'm having a hard time finding any shops that even do that sort of work anymore around me, so unless I want to drive 8 hours I was thinking of getting a universal braided steel kit online.

I made up 1/2 " hydraulic lines like the originals. I used reusable ends because I had them kicking around and made adapter fittings down to 1/8 for the trans.
