1. Use two 10 AN Stainless Steel Braided hose.
2. Use two AQP Hose, 90 Degree, -10 AN Hose to Female -10 AN, Aluminum, Nickel Plated.
3. Use two AQP Hose, 45 Degree, -10 AN Hose to Female -10 AN, Aluminum, Nickel Plated.
4. Use two 10 AN M18x1.5 fittings threaded into the Aluminum adapter manifold with "0"rings.
5. One 6mm x 1.0 x 35 mm SS Allen head bolt.
6. One 6 mm SS washer.
7. Two "O" rings for the Aluminum adapter manifold to oil cooler interface.

The first four items can be found at Summit Racing.

Dynomite,

May be it was M18... My memory isn't what it use to be. If so, I'll have to return and order new.
Did I send you that pic?

I did not want to INSIST on that M16/M18 issue as I sometimes am wrong even though I am positive I am right.

By the way...that is why I post technical stuff so often.....as a sanity check and confirmation. I figure if no one says anything I must be correct

Appreciate that Black ZR-1 flange....excellent work

I use a Small Angle Grinder for cutting the SS Braided Hose which does not fray the SS braids on the hose ends. I also use an appropriate size Box Wrench on the Hose Fittings (box end) to minimize leaving marks on the fittings.



Note:
Unless you are making up several SS hoses it is much cheaper to just let someone else do it like secondchance (there are some tricks)

Dynomite,

You are correct - fittings I need are M18x1.5-10AN and not M16. I am exchanging messages with the seller (in Hong Kong) so that I can bring the correct ones and not get stuck w/ $150 dollars woth fittings I have no use for.
I use a scissor cutter meant for braided line - sotrta looks like a bolt cutter. I tried using a hack saw at first and learned a hard way.
