powersteering return line upgrade?

I accidentally cracked the power steering return line when installing my new hydroboost and it needs to be replaced. My question is should i just buy a new one or should I use my stock tranny cooler and make my own? Has anyone done something like this?

Thanks,
Chris

just make your own it is just a transmission cooler line nothing else and it is a low pressure line so hoses and clamps will work with out problems i have done this countless times with no problems even used a tranny cooler to cool down the fluid works great once after a 300 mile trip thru back country i stuck my finger in the fluid it was lukewarm
