good idea with the chains, they look tough and finding something always beats buying something

what are you looking for the copper line for? Think about using 9 wire if you run short on chain.

A regular aluminum tranny cooler will work well. I use a fluidlyne cooler I got used off ebay for $8 it has screw on fittings, Had my lines made from hydralic lines with pressed fittings most farm stores carry them or will make them for you. I just dont trust rubber line and hose clamps. Made my first cooler out of copper tube and an igloo cooler. Ended up with a cooler full of fluid and water mix. I double clamped and flared the ends.
