I went to the wreckers and found a EL with a factory external cooler and took the fittings. Other than that you can cut some off a wreck at the wreckers then match it up at an auto parts store.

Yeh, I just cut out a section of the existing line, and clamped the external cooler lines straight to them. The fluid is pumped at low pressure, so normal hose clamps are plenty good enough. You want to cut into the return line, which should be the top one.
