Default Cooler Line Adapter?

I can't find this damn adapter that goes from the transmission cooler line to the radiator. Tried advanced auto parts, and autozone, and neither have them. Tried Lowes, and got close but not close enough.

Where can I find this adapter on the web? It appears to go from 1/4" to 1/8", with the 1/8" fine thread going into the radiator.

I have no clue... You need to take it with you to the parts store and make sure they thread together properly before you buy the part.. Where are you located?

I found a 1/4 x 1/8 adapter at Grainger up the road. I have to go tomorrow and check it out to see if it's what I need. I hope so.

Does anyone know what this connector fully looks like? Perhaps a picture? I went to grainger, got a lack of help, and still didn't get what I wanted. I have to try Napa next but I don't know what else to do. I'm confused as why it's so hard to find this stupid adapter!

Well, ACE Hardware didn't have it. I had a guy helping me as well and he didn't find anything.
He suggested NAPA after I told him all the places I checked. NAPA had the part. After a bit of searching through the drawers at work, she found them. I was so excited.
