Looks pretty similar to mine except that you've gone with compression fittings on the manifold to the cooler.
Wish I'd thought of that.
How did you manage to get the compression fittings to seat & seal without collapsing the aluminum pipes?
Is there a special trick?

Personally, I prefer this look to the too loud braided steel lines with the bright blue and red colored A/N fittings.

I had it sent out to hydraulic repair shop called Collie Flower in Gaithersburg, MD.
I wasn't too particular in how they made it work except for not leaking since this is my daily driver.
