Braided Stainless Trans Cooler Lines

So, two weeks ago 2 of the 3 trans coolers lines started to leak really bad. I had a local shop bend me up some new ones. I left the third one, the one with the sensor in it, because it still looked good. Now this morning I notice that that one is now leaking. I am thinking about scraping the whole setup and going with braided stainless. Can anybody tell me what kind/size of fittings I need for this. I am not sure how to figure out what size of inverted flare fittings I would need for example.

Any change your line is plugged somewhere? Seems weird that all 3 line would start leaking at about the same time.

I don't think the lines are plugged at all. When I had the last two off I changed the fluid and filter and looked over everything and it all checked out. I could just have another metal one made up but I am afraid that rust and the clamps will just wear through the metal again soon.
