I am absolutely going to buy new ones. Just wondering where. Mazdatrix has 'em but that's my last choice 'cause they seem to be a bit high priced on just about everything.

Buy the parts necessary from Jeg's. Get the Russell fittings and tubing. All you'll need is the adaptors from Mazdatrix, then...

Cool! I'll check out www.jegs.com for the parts. What adapters do you speak of? BTW, I did get all the old fittings and hoses offa the doner. Do I need anything else? Thanks!

I'll pull out the catalog and get PN's tonight. I made my own set of SS-braided lines for the engine to oil cooler hoses. Came out very nice...

I have stainless lines on mine that I had made by a local hose making company. Only $50, but the stainless is pretty much unecessary and heavier than just some hydralic hose that I could have had made for maybe $20-30. I'd get the hydro hoses if I had it to do over.

kinda on subject...
I didn't want to run the stock mounted oil filter/housing so I made a new one that will take a -10 fitting. I already had a guy tig weld some -10 fittings on my -se oil cooler so I figgured what the hell and go all out with a reote mount oil filter. I think I'm going to use a donaldson filter and filter head probably a 3 micron filter to get EVERYTHING out of the oil.
