Help identifying transmission cooler fitting

[jballard81]

Screwed up the threads of this fitting in my while drilling out the frozen 3/8" line.

It's 5/8-18 unf thread and had an inverted flare on the 3/8" line that was stuck in there.

If I had a 5/8 unf die I would just clean up the threads, but I don't. I'm googling but haven't had any luck yet. Will post back if I find it first.

Found it on eBay.

Hopefully I can find it in stock somewhere else

Found it I believe. Kinda spendy though. Maybe I can find one elsewhere

since the sealing is at the end with the flare you can grind/file the damaged threads.
a mini grinder or set of mini files would work.

I see the dimple on the end, that may also need some work.

I am going to try to clean up the threads and use it. However, I also found the replacement.

O'reillys here in town has most of those fittings. Any auto shop probably has or can get a brake line repair with that end on it. If you're looking for local to get it back together today.
