Hey Volks,
        I have already done the parts research on this and currently have a tranny
cooler bypass installed on my 86 with the parts.  Involved the following:

2 ea. M12 hydraulic fitting
        ( I had to match the thread pitch)
2 ea. Elbows w/press on nipple on one end
        (These are relatively new....see next item)
Press fit hydraulic line
        (This is blue stuff and is rated up to 500 psi and
        doesn't require clamps or crimps - neat stuff)

Check your local hydraulic supply dealer.  The fittings were pricey but its a
neat and clean setup.
