Three feet of braided hose would be enough but I'd go with four. I like the nylon.

This is from my 1979 RX-7.

(3 required) -10 to 16mm adapters
(1 required) 10AN to 18mm adapters

(2 required)
45* -10AN for oil cooler - I used the swivel type.
(1 required) straight -10AN for front cover
(1 required) 90* -10AN for rear iron

You "should" be good with 24" for the rear iron. 12" is going to be too long for the front cover one. I think at that length it will kink. I just made my own. You'll be in for about $150 making them yourself but it does take the right wrenches. You can buy the Racing Beat ones but man there expensive.
