I have installed the engine, trans, brakes, gas tank, fuel lines, and brake lines. While installing the trans one of the cooling lines that goes to the radiator snapped, no biggy. Got the flaring tool out, installed a new 5/16 fitting ran the the rest of the trans line to the radiator, only problems is I bought a new radiator, and the trans fitting for it is a 3/16 in/out.

Can I buy a fitting/reducer to make this work? Going from a 5/16 line to 3/16? If so, where can I get one?

I have 3 weeks to get the car done, before I am being shipped out on a remote.

Thanks for any help.

Hipo,
If I lived in the states, I could pop down to the local hardware store, but in England they don't have crap like that, well they do but they don't stock as well as the US stores.
