I use the Aeroquip socketless hose with the push on fittings and use flare fittings with pipe threads for the hose to copper connections.

Dennis,
I'm presuming you are attaching short sections of the 1/2 inch ( AN8 ) rubber hoses to the cooler inlet and outlets and thermostat inlets and outlets and then attaching the copper tubing to the ends of the rubber hoses in the mid section from the front to the engine. If this is correct, how do you form a tight seal with the copper and rubber hose connections?
Thanks,
Rick Koller
