They're pullers, again terrible pics and was trying to show the size and NOT drop the cooler while taking the pictures. John from Castle Fab and I discussed building the bracket at the same 45ish degree angle as the slider bracket with the coolers inlet/outlet on top closest to the frame. I want it above the bottom of the frame, well protected. A Jay Leno's Garage where they featured a 60s mustang gave me some good ideas. I hope to share more pictures Friday.
Yes, the cooler running through the radiator was designed to get the trans fluid up the operating temperature more quickly. It doesn't do a good job cooling at all and is easily over taxed. Regarding the temp guage if you have access to a machine shop you can drill and tap the out going hot fitting yourself and use whatever temp guage you'd prefer. The union is actually not that much money if you want to save on down time.
