The bracket is bent. Probably done to make too short of a hose fit.

This "little" rad hose/clamp project is done!
Cleaned, straightened the bent bracket and painted the transmission cooler. The cooler is in pretty good condition, which is probably because the car always had antifreeze............can't use straight water in my part of the world! I used the original style Corbin Spring Clamps instead of the screw style hose clamps. Still looking for the correct on for the water pump, but at least it doesn't have a screw type clamp on it. Warmed it up to check for leaks and to let everything soften and settle into place. Tomorrow is supposed to be HOT, so I'll take it for a drive and make sure there are no leaks. PACKARD PRO TIP Do not bolt your cooler on before attaching the transmission lines. Attach the transmission lines first, then put the short piece of hose in place while you move the cooler into position. Bolt the cooler on before tightening the clamps for the short hose. ![]() The lower elbow being cut to the correct length makes it fit much better. The old one would have been restricting the flow a bit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Your cooler appears to be in excellent and very clean condition which is unusual! As I had collected a number of them over the years, a while back I sent them out for cleaning, pressure testing and to replace as needed the hose flanges.While they are all in excellent condition, they are not as beautiful as yours!
Incidentally, in cleaning all these, I noticed different numbers between them and wonder why when all are off 1951-1954 senior Packards.
