Oil Cooler line length

Does anyone happen to know the length of both the oil cooler lines? I only have the fittings, the lines were destroyed so im not sure how long to cut them.

So, you've got some new hose ? believe it or not this is the perfect time to move the oil cooler where ever you may want to mount it jimmy. mount the cooler first then run the lines.

Acutally, this is for my brothers car (hes doing the T2 swap) i dont have my car with me to take any measurements, so i dont know the stock length...I have considered that though...moving it up to the front, and giving him my old lines... Do you think it will improve cooling that much having it basically right behind the airdam?

I've been thinking of moving my oil cooler, but if I take the lines off, how can I drive anywhere to get some made up? Also I wonder who would have the right fittings match up to a rotary?

what ya might wanna do it get a set of messed up oil cooler lines.. cut off the old hose and use the fittings. i made my own lines, cost me $17 and busted knuckles.. the lines rating for 300* and 1000 psi working pressure.. these better not pop anytime soon. =D
