As the XJ resurrection projects goes deeper and deeper, I'm now at the point where I'm ready to reassemble my hydraulic systems...
I've removed my factory auxiliary transmission cooler (whose hard lines don't fit through the hole provided in my Rigid FbG bulkhead reinforcement plate) and am about to order a Derale 15331 dual-circuit cooler to replace it, also acting as a power steering cooler:

Now, hydraulic fittings are a new world for me. I know that the cooler will be on the low-pressure side of each system, but I'd still like to get it right.
Here's what I do know:
Thanks in advance!

Here's what I do know:
- Power steering return line is 11/32" ID
- The Derale inlets/outlets are 8AN fittings (from what I've read, another stupid US-proprietary measurement)
- How to fit the output of the transmission to the new cooler (it's that female quick-disconnect fitting much like a fuel line with 4 internal tabs retaining the male fitting on the auxiliary transmission cooler)
- How to convert the 8AN inlets/outlets to 11/32" barbed fittings (I know the PS return is 11/32" - how about the transmission?)
Thanks in advance!
